In the Kernel Summit
track at the 2023 Linux
Plumbers Conference (LPC), Stefan Roesch led a session on kernel
samepage merging (KSM). He gave an overview of the feature and described
some recent changes to KSM. He showed how
an application can enable KSM to deduplicate its memory and how the feature
can be evaluated to determine whether it is a good fit for new workloads.
In addition, he provided some real-world data of the benefits from his
workplace at Meta.

Nextcloud has announced
the “acquisition” of the Roundcube webmail system.

As a product, Roundcube has an established path to success on its
own. With opportunities remaining to be explored, a direct merger
between Roundcube and Nextcloud is not planned. Neither will
Roundcube replace Nextcloud Mail or the other way around. The
products both have strengths and weaknesses and as open source
products they already do share some underlying libraries and tools,
but remain independent offerings for overlapping but different use
scenarios. Nextcloud Mail will evolve as it is, focused on being
used naturally within Nextcloud. Roundcube will continue to serve
its active and new users as a stand-alone secure mail client.

The drgn Python-based kernel
debugger was developed by Omar Sandoval for use in his job on the kernel
team at Meta. He now spends most of his time working on drgn, both in
developing new features for the tool and in using
it to debug production problems at Meta, which gives him a view of both
ends of that feedback loop. At the 2023
Linux Plumbers
Conference (LPC), he led a session on drgn in the kernel debugging
microconference, where he wanted to brainstorm on how to add some new
features to the debugger and, in particular, how to allow them to work on
production kernels.
