[$] What's brewing in CXL

Compute Express Link (CXL) is a technology intended to enable the provision of "memory nodes" in data centers that provide (possibly shared) memory to nearby CPUs. It has, Dan Williams said at the beginning of his memory-management-track session on the topic at the 2026 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit, ""been making memory-management problems worse since 2021"". He used the session to provide an overview of the ways in which CXL can be expected to extend that record into the future.
