You will learn about the benefits of moving all your routing from the host machine to a container running on the host.

This talk presents AppSwitch, a completely new TCP-layer network element similar to a router at IP layer or a bridge at link layer, that addresses a number of issues in modern environments, especially ones based on microservices.

More and more devices in RDMA are dependent on netdev as well as other subsystems -- target, NFS, scsi, block, cgroups, SELinux.... Can we make backporting task for distro people easier ?

CGroup V2 is pretty different from CGroup V1 and the two can't fully operate in parallel leading to problems running containers which only support one or the other.

Configuration Request Retry Status (CRS) (slides)

In this talk we will present current roadblocks to a more defensive design that affect all container runtimes.

Introduction to the problem of cgroup limits visibility to userspace and the approach taken by LXCFS. (slides)

Review of a possible alternative solution to the "decay-clamp" idea.

Maximum payload size vs. Maximum Read Request Size (slides)

Making Linux Security Modules available to containers. (slides)

Current status of namespacing of the Linux Integrity Measurement Architecture

Open Fabrics Alliance - Status and New Directions

Check for power/perf regressions.

How to selectively allow privileged actions from otherwise unprivileged containers? (slides)

Reworking the IPI logic to implement the RT (and deadline) scheduler for push/pull logic

Can LXC be used to run OCI application container images? (slides)

The Linux scheduler has become fairly complex and is not always able to preserve work-conservation. We present Ipanema, a DSL to write simple and safe schedulers with proven properties. (slides)

The potential difference in max and delivered CPU performance (capacity) is growing (thermal and peak current management), can we keep ignoring it, or should load-balancing factor the constraints in?

schedutil usage/aggregation of utilization signals

Improving event tracing, post-processing tools and scheduler models. (slides)

An update on shiftfs and the next steps for remapping overlay filesystems.

Discuss the various ways BPF can be used to categorize workloads and use it to build generic workload simulators.

Discussion on the proposal for a per-task API to bias OPP selection.

As new kernel maintainers and developers work with a 25 year old code base, email2git helps them understand better the context in which code changes were made by linking those changes' Git commits back to their reviews. (slides)

Redesigning the memory NUMA abstraction taking into account new memory technologies where inter node distance will no longer be the only deciding factor for memory allocation and placement. (slides)

The purpose of this talk is to describe status quo of the Live Kernel Patching implementation and identify future steps needed to improve the implementation (slides)

This talk will discuss new performance analysis capabilities and tools using enhanced BPF, including scheduler, FS, and TCP analysis, beginning a new generation of advanced tools and visualizations. (slides)

Discuss features and design of a fair, sleepable range reader/writer lock for the linux kernel. (slides)

Discussion about the open issues of the deadline scheduler. (slides)

What factors might interfere with the kernel development community's future growth? (slides)

userfaultfd: current features and limitations and future development (slides)
