Jiong Wang says: ==================== The maximum packet offset accessed by one BPF program is useful information. Because sometimes there could be packet split and it is possible for some reasons (for example performance) we want to reject the BPF program if the maximum packet size would trigger such split. Normally, MTU value is treated as the maximum packet size, but one BPF program does not always access the whole packet, it could only access the head portion of the data. We could let verifier calculate the maximum packet offset ever used and record it inside prog auxiliar information structure as a new field "max_pkt_offset". ==================== Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
