    [$] Dueling memory-management performance regressions
    The 2019 Linux Storage, Filesystem, and
    Memory-Management Summit     included a
    detailed discussion     about a memory-management fix that
    addressed one performance regression while causing another. That fix,
    which was promptly reverted, is still believed by most memory-management
    developers to implement the correct behavior, so a
    patch     posted by Andrea Arcangeli in early May has relatively broad
    support. That patch remains unapplied as of this writing, but the
    discussion surrounding it has continued at a slow pace over the last
    month. Memory-management subsystem maintainer Andrew Morton is faced with
    a choice: which performance regression is more important?
