Message   LWN.net    All   [$] No hardware memory isolation for BPF programs   February 26, 2026
 6:40 AM *  

On February�12, Yeoreum Yun posted a
suggestion
for an improvement to the security of the kernel's BPF implementation: use

memory protection keys to prevent unauthorized access to memory by BPF
programs.
Yun wanted to put the topic on the list for discussion at the Linux
Storage, Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit in May, but the
lack of engagement makes that unlikely. They also have a patch set implementing
some of the proposed changes, but has not yet shared that with the mailing list.
Yun's proposal does not seem likely to be accepted in its
current form, but the kernel has

added hardware-based hardening options in the
past, sometimes after substantial discussion.
