The Filesystem in Userspace (FUSE) framework can be used to create a "stacked" filesystem, where the FUSE piece adds specialized functionality (e.g. reporting different file metadata) atop an underlying kernel filesystem. The performance of such filesystems leaves a lot to be desired, however, so the FUSE BPF filesystem has been proposed to try to improve the performance to be close to that of the underlying native filesystem. It came up in the context of a session on FUSE passthrough earlier in the 2023 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory-Management and BPF Summit, but the details of FUSE BPF were more fully described by Daniel Rosenberg in a combined filesystem and BPF session on the final day of the summit.
