    [$] Suspending and resuming BPF programs

    Description:
    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 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory-Management and BPF Summit . While still experimental, the change promises to make long-running BPF tasks significantly easier to write.
