Message   LWN.net    All   [$] On pages and folios   April 25, 2026
 6:40 AM *  

The kernel coverage here at LWN often touches on memory-management topics
and, as a result, tends to talk a lot about both pages and folios.  As the
folio transition in the kernel has moved forward, it has often become
difficult to decide which term to use in writing that is meant to be both
approachable and technically correct.  As this work continues, it will be
increasingly common to use "folio" rather than page.  This article is
intended to be a convenient reference for readers wanting to differentiate
the two terms or understand the state of this transition.
