Linux Plumbers Conference 2026

The Linux Plumbers Conference (LPC) is a developer conference for the open source community. The LPC brings together the top developers working on the plumbing of Linux - kernel subsystems, core libraries, windowing systems, etc. - and gives them three days to work together on core design problems. The conference is divided into several working sessions focusing on different plumbing topics, as well as a general paper track.

Syzkaller has been fuzzing Linux patchsets since August! It already caught more than 100 bugs before they were merged. At #LinuxPlumbers, Aleksandr Nogikh shared some stats and explained why your patchset may not be covered.

@cilium can enforce network policies based on FQDNs using a userspace proxy. At #LinuxPlumbers, @hemanthmalla proposed to move this to the kernel by implementing DNS parsing in #eBPF!
