[PATCH bpf-next] bpf, docs: Clarify call local offset

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



In the Jump instructions section it explains that the offset is
"relative to the instruction following the jump instruction".
But the program-local section confusingly said "referenced by
offset from the call instruction, similar to JA".

This patch updates that sentence with consistent wording, saying
it's relative to the instruction following the call instruction.

 Program-local functions
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 Program-local functions are functions exposed by the same BPF program as the
-caller, and are referenced by offset from the call instruction, similar to
+caller, and are referenced by offset from the instruction following the call instruction, similar to
 ``JA``.  The offset is encoded in the 'imm' field of the call instruction.
 An ``EXIT`` within the program-local function will return to the caller.
