TencentOS Engineers Participate in 2024 Linux Plumbers Conference and Netconf in Vienna

In September 2024, two major Linux international conferences—Linux Plumbers Conference (LPC) and Linux Kernel Developers' Netconf—were held in Vienna, where TencentOS sent two kernel engineers, Jason Xing and Kairui Song, to discuss Linux technologies and collaborate with global experts.

Netconf, a highly regarded kernel networking meeting, took place on September 16‑17 at Red Hat’s conference room, attended by invited experts from Intel, Nvidia, Google, Meta and others, focusing on kernel‑level networking; all participants are maintainers of Linux network subsystems.

At Netconf, Jason Xing delivered a keynote titled “Rapid Diagnosis of Network Issues in Production Environments and Future Plans,” sparking extensive discussion and reaching consensus with two Google maintainers; the presented project aims to transparently analyze network latency in DataBase/RPC scenarios without user‑space modifications.

On September 18, Kairui Song represented TencentOS at LPC, following a previous invitation to LSFMM 2024, and presented the “mTHP and SWAP Allocator” at the MM Micro Conference, describing a new SWAP management system that improves performance and eliminates small‑page fragmentation, with patches merged into the mm‑stable branch.

Kairui also shared TencentOS “Wujing” memory multi‑level unloading solution, discussed contributions to the Linux memory subsystem (MGLRU, SWAP), and ongoing research in eBPF, Sched_ext, and Rust, receiving strong interest from the community.

TencentOS kernel originates from upstream Linux; the team’s participation in these top‑level conferences demonstrates its commitment to upstream innovation and collaboration, and the team will continue advancing memory management, protocol‑stack optimization, and other core OS technologies.
