eBPF - Rethinking the Linux Kernel

[@royzhang9273]

The best eBPF talk I can find so far.

[@complexitytr9098]

Except the fact that many of us wont and cant use! Btw if someone wise browse by these comment(s). Feel free to drop book(s) name or something in case we/anyone wanna try learning about ebpf from scratch.

Intuitive and exhaustive rundown. Thanks

Fantastic talk

[@YogendraTamang]

Best talk.

[@deangur]

Very good lecture, I think you can fix/improve the sectioning of the video (it's not entirely aligned with the slides etc')

[@tomknud]

Could a DDOS intender cause MAP expansion that eventually caused it or even crashed your kernels?

[@tomknud]

Slide 19, user mode side car is missing.

The change is not due to the programmability, it is a historical change in UI styling practice and hardware performance. Every program looked like grey blocks with poor colors in the 1990's to early 2000's, websites were only an example of ongoing practice. Then the industry learned that we could make aesthetic interfaces that people actually like to use, which began to bring the change in user interfaces. The client hardware started to allow more processing, after which we got programmability in the web.

Yeah today browser UIs are GPU-rendered, and CSS has turned into a Turing-complete monster. It's considered a bad practice to mix UI styling with JS, there is a clear separation between the two in modern JS frameworks. Programmability only affected interactiveness or the web pages, not their appearance.

Is BPF -- Redux for the OS? roughly :)

[@pajeetsingh]

That thumbnail gave me heart attack.

[@vadergrd]

if bpf is gonna be like npm i'm going to get the popcorn...

[@MARTIN-101]

what does this comment mean can you explain on this ? what does npm do ?

[@JakobJenkov]

The idea itself sounds pretty cool! :-) ... not sure it should be JS... Web Assembly perhaps?

[@pajeetsingh]

you will use javascript and you will like it.

[@TheUser04460]

This is sound like: eBPF, eBPF everywhere…

[@kortaffel]

Linux kernel bundle-of-sticks invented ring 2. much wow ...

[@unbekannter_Nutzer]

Can you at least name one single module, which had to be rewritten with every kernel release? Do you have a rough estimation, how many kernel releases there have been? Shameless, unbounded exaggerations smell like advertisement to me, an euphemism for lies.

[@122mlb]

Imagine what will happen to linux after Linus dies, it's going to be entirely re-written with "trendy" languages like Javascript/Python. What a disgrace.

[@dengan699]

why that would be? nonsense

[@misaelvalentin6154]

Way to miss the entire point of the talk.
