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

still experimental, the change promises to make long-running BPF tasks
significantly easier to write.
