[$] Cleaning up after BPF exceptions Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi has been working to add support for exceptions to BPF since mid-2023. In July, Dwivedi posted <a href="https://lwn.net/Articles/938435/" rel="nofollow"> the first patch set</a> in this effort, which adds support for basic stack unwinding. In February 2024, he posted <a href="https://lwn.net/ml/bpf/20240201042109.1150490-1-memxor@gmail.com/" rel="nofollow"> the second patch set</a> aimed at letting the kernel release resources held by the BPF program when an exception occurs. This makes exceptions usable in many more contexts. https://lwn.net/Articles/969185/
