Dave changed his mind. Now the Tux3 team has been assigned a research
project to improve core kernel writeback instead of simply adapting the
approach that is already proven to work well enough. That is a rather
blatant example of "perfect is the enemy of good enough". Please read
the
thread.
That's a bit disingenuous: the concern has always been how page forking
interacted with writeback. It's not new, it was one of the major things
brought up at LSF 14 months ago, so you weren't just assigned this.
