• [$] Suspending and resuming BPF programs

    From LWN.net@618:250/24 to All on Sat Jun 20 06:40:08 2026


    BPF programs can be used to extend many aspects the Linux kernel, but
    BPF programs must run to completion in the same context that they began.
    Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi is working on changing that by
    allowing BPF programs to be expressed as coroutines. He spoke about his work at the 2026

    Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory-Management and BPF Summit. While
    still experimental, the change promises to make long-running BPF tasks significantly easier to write.
