Description:
BPF is, famously, not part of the kernel's promises of user-space stability. New
kernels can and do break existing BPF programs; the BPF developers try to
fix unintentional regressions as they happen, but the whole thing can be something of a bumpy
ride for users trying to deploy BPF programs across multiple kernel versions. Shung-Hsi Yu and Daniel Xu had two different approaches to fixing the problem that they presented at the 2025 Linux Storage, Filesystem,
Memory-Management, and BPF Summit.
