[LSF/MM/BPF TOPIC] Large block for I/O

[Hannes Reinecke]

Hi all,

I would like to discuss

Large blocks for I/O

Since the presentation last year there has been quite some developments
and improvements in some areas, but at the same time a lack of progress
in other areas.
In this presentation/discussion I would like to highlight the current
state of affairs, existing pain points, and future directions of 
development.
It might be an idea to co-locate it with the MM folks as we do have
quite some overlap with page-cache improvements and hugepage handling.

Cheers,

Hannes
