Yeah I think this proposal doesn't work: - inspecting ioctl arguments that need copying outside of the driver/subsystem doing that copying is fundamentally racy - there's been a pile of cgroups proposal to manage gpus at the drm subsystem level, some by Kenny, and frankly this at least looks a bit like a quick hack to sidestep the consensus process for that. So once we push this into drivers it's not going to be a bpf hook anymore I think.
