[$] The NOVA filesystem

At the 2018 Linux Storage, Filesystem, and Memory-Management Summit, AndiryXu presented the NOVA filesystem, which heis trying to get into the upstream kernel. Unlike existing kernelfilesystems, NOVA exclusively targets non-volatile main memory (NVMM)rather than traditional block devices (disks or SSDs). In fact, it does not use thekernel's block layer at all and instead uses persistent memory mappeddirectly into the kernel address space.
