"textContent": "The kernel's this_cpu\noperations are meant to speed access to per-CPU variables. They are more optimal on some CPUs than others, though. During a memory-management-track session at the 2026 Linux Storage,\nFilesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit, Yang Shi proposed a fundamental, and somewhat controversial, change to how these operations work in order to provide better performance on a wider range of architectures.",
