    [$] A new DMA-mapping API

    Date:
    Thu, 15 May 2025 14:26:51 +0000

    Description:
    Leon Romanovsky began his session at the 2025 Linux Storage, Filesystem,
    Memory Management, and BPF Summit (LSFMM+BPF) by explaining that the improved DMA-mapping API that he has been
    working on is a group effort. He, Chaitanya Kulkarni, Christoph Hellwig,
    Jason Gunthorpe, and others are proposing to modernize the API and to
    " make it more suitable for current kernels ". He told the assembled
    storage and filesystem developers that the progress on the proposal has stalled, but that it was the basis for further work in various areas, so he hoped to find a way to move forward with it.
