INT_MAX is a lot more than (4k * 40000), so I guess I'm not clear on
whether we should be using PAGE_SIZE here at all. I guess each BPF
program uses at least one page is the thinking?
Thanks for tracking this down. For some reason none of my ~10 test boxes
have hit this, perhaps I don't have new enough userspace?
You don't mention why you needed to add BPF_MIN(), I assume because the
kernel version of min() has gotten too complicated to work here?
Daniel I assume you'll merge this via your tree?
cheers
