Description:
The iomap block-mapping abstraction is being used by more filesystems, in part because of its support for large folios. But there are some challenges in adopting iomap, which was the topic of a discussion led by Ritesh Harjani
in a combined storage and filesystem session at the 2024 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit . One of the main trouble
spots is how to handle metadata, which is not an area that iomap has been aimed
at.
