Vineeth Pillai gave a remote talk at the 2024
Linux Storage,
Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit
explaining how BPF could be
used to improve the performance of virtual machines (VMs). Pillai has

a patch
set
designed to let guest and host machines share scheduling information in
order to eliminate some of the overhead of running in a VM. The assembled
developers had several comments on the design, but seemed overall to approve of
the prospect.
