The Debian project is mourning Abraham Raji, who was killed in an accident on September 13.

Abraham was a popular and respected Debian Developer as well a prominent free software champion in his home state of Kerala, India. He was a talented graphic designer and led design and branding work for DebConf23 and several other local events in recent years. Abraham gave his time selflessly when mentoring new contributors to the Debian project, and he was instrumental in creating and maintaining the Debian India website.

The Debian Project honors his good work and strong dedication to Debian and Free Software. Abraham’s contributions will not be forgotten, and the high standards of his work will continue to serve as an inspiration to others.

Much of the kernel’s performance is dependent on caching — keeping useful
information around for future use to avoid the cost of looking it up again.
The kernel aggressively caches pages of file data, directory entries,
inodes, slab objects, and much more. Without active measures, though,
caches will tend to grow without bounds, leading to memory exhaustion. The
kernel’s “shrinker” mechanism exists to be that active measure, but
shrinkers have some performance difficulties of their own. This
patch series from Qi Zheng seeks to address one of the worst of those
by removing some locking overhead.
