• [$] BPF, continuous testing, and stable kernels

    From LWN.net@86:200/23 to All on Sat Aug 15 06:40:08 2026


    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.
