Alexis Lothore has been working to add support for the kernel's memory-accesschecker,KASAN, to just-in-time-compiled BPF code. He spoke about that work atthe 2026Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory-Management, and BPF Summit.KASAN support is needed, he said, to help catch bugs in the BPF just-in-time (JIT)compiler.
