Thanks Usama! :) I know we started off with some fireworks on review 😅 but you've always been fantastic to work with and it's been great to see you develop as a contributor. BTW, I did want to say but never got around to it - I love how you've approached the PUD THP stuff - i.e. getting the huge swap stuff sorted first, gradually building things up, etc.! You've always given interesting sessions + input at LSF and have had great insights on how stuff interacts with the Meta fleet also! :) It was especially interesting to hear that 512 MiB huge pages have actually resulted in far less memory usage than you might expect :) I will still be busy upstream with the 4 other maintainerships to keep me busy, along with series both in kvmarm and core mm so don't worry I'm not going anywhere :) And as I said to David and others, always feel free to cc- me or ping me off-list etc. if I can be of use for THP stuff, even though I'm taking a break from the maintainership side! > > Thanks, > Usama -- Cheers, Lorenzo
