BPF Hardware Offload Deep Dive Webinar
Jakub Kicinski
The first version of eBPF hardware offload was merged into the Linux kernel in October 2016 and became part of Linux v4.9. For the last two years the project has been growing and evolving to integrate more closely with the core kernel infrastructure and enable more advanced use cases. This talk explained the internals of the kernel architecture of the offload and how it allows seamless execution of unmodified eBPF datapaths in HW.
