What does eBPF have to do with storage?
- tenebrisalietum 5y agoeBPF is being or already is extended to hook into kernel facilities other than networking. I could see it being used to implement some abstraction onto storage other than POSIX block device or mmap().
- HippoBaro 5y agoYou can implement stuff using eBPF and do IO and compute in without leaving the kernel. It’s crazy. For instance you can perform an on-disk b-tree lookup in the kernel. These devices are so fast that crossing the kernel boundary becomes the limiting factor.
