Checking like Alexei did it seems Joe's version is faster and better: $ git grep -l -E "[^a-z0-9]xdp[^a-z0-9]" | wc -l 295 $ git grep -l -E '(\b|_)xdp(\b|_)' | wc -l 297 $ time git grep -l -E '(\b|_)xdp(\b|_)' > /tmp/a real 0m5.171s user 0m32.657s sys 0m0.664s $ time git grep -l -E "[^a-z0-9]xdp[^a-z0-9]" > /tmp/b real 0m16.627s user 1m48.149s sys 0m0.977s 09:56 linux$ diff /tmp/a /tmp/b 4d3 < Documentation/networking/index.rst 189d187 < samples/bpf/.gitignore Joe would you like to send a patch, or should I?
