    [$] Managing pages outside of the direct map

    Description:
    When Brendan Jackman proposed a session for the 2026 Linux Storage,
    Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit , his topic was " a
    pagetable library for the kernel ". During the actual
    memory-management-track session, though, he stated that the idea had
    " fizzled " and he was going to cover related topics instead. What
    resulted was a session on ways to efficiently manage pages that are not
    present in the kernel's direct map.
