TokuDB seems to be written in C++. It's neat that they managed to make that work in-kernel.
Also there are patent notices in the TokuDB files.
So probability of it being in Linux at some point approaches zero.
And with the patents they even made the whole technique unviable for any Linux fs (haven't looked at them in detail obviously).
