    [$] Controlling memory-management with BPF

    Description:
    Roman Gushchin began his session in the memory-management track of the
    2026 Linux Storage,
    Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit by saying that the
    community has seen a lot of proposals adding BPF-based interfaces for
    memory management. None of them have made their way into the mainline,
    though. He wanted to explore the ways in which BPF might be helpful and
    the obstacles that have kept BPF-based solutions out so far. This session
    was followed by a discussion led by Shakeel Butt on what the requirements
    for a new, BPF-based interface for memory control groups might look like.
