I do not find it orthogonal, Pablo brings up some very valid points which I agree with. EBPF has a lot of the same user side interface limitations that the existing BPF has, and you refuse to accept this core point Pablo is making. That is, that it lacks extensibility, and is too strongly tied to the implementation. This is exactly how we run into problems in the future, and you'll be proposing EBPF_2.0 to address such problems. I refuse to setup such a situation, and there is absolutely not rush whatsoever to apply your patches. We can take our time with this stuff. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
