• [$] Using dma-bufs for read and write operations

    From LWN.net@618:250/24 to All on Wed May 13 06:40:09 2026
    The kernel's dma-buf
    subsystem provides a way for drivers to share memory buffers, usually
    in order to support efficient device-to-device I/O. At the 2026 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit, Pavel Begunkov, assisted
    by Kanchan Joshi, led a joint session of the storage and memory-management tracks to explore ways to make the use of dma-bufs more efficient yet, and
    to make them available for read and write operations initiated by user
    space.
