eBPF, much the same thing, is actually thought about and well designed. If it wasn't it would be easy to crash linux.
This is what they do and they are doing badly. I bet it's just shit on shit under the hood, developed by somewhat competent engineers, all gone or promoted to management.
This was obviously a bug in RHEL kernel because even if the bpf program was bunk it should not cause the kernel to panic. However, it's almost like CrowdStrike does zero testing of their software and looks at their end users as Test/QA.

I’m not sure how much early warning RH gives to folks when a kernel change comes in via a point release. Looking at https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/upcoming-improvements-red-hat..., it seems like it’s changing for 9.5. I hope CrowdStrike will be able to start testing against those beta kernels.
