[$] CRIB: checkpoint/restore in BPF

Date:
Wed, 07 Aug 2024 15:35:18 +0000

Description:
The desire for the ability to checkpoint a process  to record its state in
a form that can be restarted at a future time  on Linux is almost as old as
Linux itself.  See, for example, this announcement of a checkpoint
project that appeared in LWN in 1998.  While working solutions exist, they
can be somewhat fragile and difficult to use; it is not surprising that
some people are interested in finding a better alternative.  A current
effort goes by the name CRIB,
for Checkpoint/Restore in (naturally) BPF.  It is far from clear that CRIB
will replace the existing solutions, but it is an interesting look at a
different way of solving the problem.
