Yeah I'm happy to take them if they are OK by you. I do wonder if the BPF jit code should eventually move out of arch/, but that's a discussion for another day. > One thing that may be worth adding to the commit log as well is > the test result from test_bpf.ko given it has an extensive suite around > atomics useful for testing corner cases in JITs. Yes please, test results make me feel much better about merging things :) cheers
