Hello,
We are pleased to announce the Call for Proposals for the Containers and
Checkpoint/Restore Microconference[0] at Linux Plumbers Conference 2026,
taking place in Prague, Czechia, from October 5 to 7, 2026.
This microconference will focus on current work and open problems in
containers, checkpoint/restore, kernel interfaces, and related userspace
tooling. We hope to bring together people working on container
runtimes, CRIU, init systems, distributions, orchestration systems, and
the kernel interfaces that make these pieces work together.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- New VFS and syscall interfaces relevant to containers, including
work around idmapped mounts
- Closing remaining gaps between cgroup v1 and cgroup v2, and making
migration easier
- The growing role of eBPF in container runtimes, observability,
policy enforcement, and checkpoint/restore
- Mechanisms for mediating and intercepting increasingly complex
system calls
- Lowering the barriers to practical use of user namespaces
- Attestation, measurement, and other approaches to establishing
container integrity
- Better resource-control interfaces and limits for containerized
workloads
- Keeping CRIU working smoothly on modern Linux distributions
- Checkpoint/restore support for GPUs and similar accelerators
- Restoring FUSE daemons and related userspace services
- Handling restartable sequences correctly during checkpoint and
restore
- Support for newly added kernel features and interfaces
- Shadow stack support on x86 and arm64
- Support for madvise(MADV_GUARD_INSTALL) and mseal()
- pidfd-based checkpoint/restore, including process-exit information
We are also interested in additional topics that may emerge as work
evolves over the coming months. Ongoing development work, operational
experience, unresolved kernel API questions, and cross-project
coordination topics are all welcome.
We encourage you to bring open questions, unresolved issues, or problems
that would benefit from input from others. In your proposal, please
include a short description of the topic, what you would like to
discuss, and what kind of feedback or collaboration would help move the
work forward.
Allocated time per session is expected to be between 15 and 30 minutes.
Please submit proposals through the LPC 2026 abstracts page by August 7:
https://lpc.events/event/20/abstracts/
Linux Plumbers Conference 2026 will be a hybrid event. While in-person
presentation is preferred to help keep the sessions smooth and
interactive, remote presentation will also be available.
We are looking forward to your proposals and to seeing you in Prague.
