The Linux Plumbers 2015 Persistent Memory track focuses on the kernel and userspace plumbing for byte-addressable (direct cpu load/store) persistent memory.
Kernel/Drivers: libnd, pmem, blk, and btt maintainers / reviewers
Kernel/FS+MM: DAX developers, MM developers
Userspace/Management: libndctl, storage management app developers, install and init maintainers
Userspace/Applications: nvml maintainers / reviewers

Overview: ACPI 6 NFIT (NVDIMM Firmware Interface Table)
LIBND: non-volatile memory Kernel subsystem
I/O: PMEM/BLK access mechanisms and cpu cache management
I/O: Overview of the Block Translation Table (for providing atomic sector updates)
MM: The “struct page” problem
Management: userspace infrastructure for device/capacity management, installer support…
Userspace applications: libraries like NVML for managing DAX
Kernel applications:
RAID stripe cache
Performance: discuss hotspots in pmem, btt, block layer, and other areas of the kernel, and in applications
NUMA support: how will applications query numa locality for a given file or memory address?
Error handling: How are errors propagated to applications? How are they cleared?
The schedule of the Microconference is as follows. Note presentation slides can be found on the Plumbers page by following the links to the abstracts:
This is a good place to record notes from your session. All too often, if notes were not written down, the session might as well not have happened.
