    [$] The twilight of the version-1 memory controller

    Description:
    Almost immediately after the merging of control
    groups , kernel developers set their sights on reimplementing them
    properly. The second version of the control-group API started trickling
    into the kernel around the 3.16 release in 2014 and users have long since
    been encouraged to migrate, but support for (and users of) the initial API remain. At the 2024
    Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory-Management and BPF Summit ,
    memory-management developers discussed whether (and when) it might be
    possible to remove the version-1 memory controller. The session was led by Shakeel Butt and (participating remotely) Roman Gushchin.
