The bcachefs filesystem, and the
process for getting it upstream, were the topics
of a session led remotely by
Kent Overstreet, creator of bcachefs, at the
2023 Linux Storage, Filesystem,
Memory-Management and BPF Summit. He has also discussed bcachefs in
previous editions of the summit, first
in 2018 and at last year s event;
in both of those cases, the question of getting bcachefs merged
into the mainline kernel came up, but that merge has not happened yet.
This time
around, though, Overstreet seemed
closer than ever to being ready to actually start that process.
