mm track: THP topics

mm track: THP topics

[Michal Hocko]

Hi,
there is one THP related track scheduled currently but we have more THP
topics which might be interesting IMO. Both Kirrill and Hugh have a very
related topic so theirs should definitely stay.

Vlastimil has covered current pain points of THPs in his RFC recently
(http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=142469637313693&w=2). I think this
deserves a separate slot so that we can discuss issues mentioned in the
cover letter. There are still some slots free AFAICS.

What do you think?

Yeah, it could be too much for a single slot. On the other hand the topic of THP
costs/benefits could end up shorter due to lack of hard data. So if it's a time
slot where we could flexibly move on to next topic without having to e.g.
synchronize with a plenary session, it should work.

I've asked Vlastimil that question couple days ago and got the same answer :)

We have two spare slots which will probably stay open until the summit. Since
THP is the first (MM) topic on the agenda, if we see that there's more discussion
to do we can always grab one of the spares then.


Thanks,
Sasha
