[$] ZONE_DEVICE and the future of struct page The opening session of the 2017 Linux Storage, Filesystem, and
Memory-Management Summit covered a familiar
topic: how to represent (possibly massive) persistent-memory arrays
to various subsystems in the kernel. This session, led by Dan Williams,
focused in particular on the ZONE_DEVICE abstraction and whether
the kernel should use page structures to represent persistent memory or
not. | | 4:12p |

O-MG, the Developer Preview of Android O is here! (Android Developers Blog) The Android Developers Blog introduces
the first developer preview of Android O. This version includes background limits, notification channels, autofill APIs, PIP for handsets, font resources in XML, adaptive icons, and much more. " Building on the work we began in Nougat, Android O puts a big priority on improving a user's battery life and the device's interactive performance. To make this possible, we've put additional automatic limits on what apps can do in the background, in three main areas: implicit broadcasts, background services, and location updates. These changes will make it easier to create apps that have minimal impact on a user's device and battery. Background limits represent a significant change in Android, so we want every developer to get familiar with them." |
