[$] BPF, continuous testing, and stable kernels

Post Syndicated from daroc original https://lwn.net/Articles/1087823/

Ihor Solodrai and Shung-Hsi Yu wrapped up the BPF track at the 2026

Linux
Storage, Filesystem, Memory-Management, and BPF Summit
with a pair of
sessions related to testing.
Solodrai spoke about what has changed for BPF’s continuous-integration (CI)
testing. Yu spoke about what may be
needed to test BPF updates in stable kernels more thoroughly. The
BPF subsystem’s CI tests are in a good place, they said; even so, Solodrai and Yu have a
handful of possible avenues toward enabling better test coverage in the future.
