• [$] Allowing BPF programs more access to the network

    From LWN.net@86:200/23 to All on Thu May 29 06:40:08 2025


    Mahé Tardy led two sessions about some of the challenges that he, Kornilios Kourtis,
    and John Fastabend have run into in their work on

    Tetragon (Apache-licensed BPF-based security monitoring software)
    at the Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit. The session
    prompted discussion about the feasibility of letting BPF programs
    send data over the network, as well as potential new kfuncs to let BPF firewalls
    send TCP reset packets. Tardy presented several possible ways that these could be accomplished.
