This because we haven't heard anything from the networking people about the BPF changes, and I'm also unsure if the current approach is the best one: It both increases the filter.o size significantly while slowing down sk_run_filter, while the point was to avoid both. I'm trying to think of an alternative approach with lower impact. The ptrace integration may need some more time to settle too, even just to make sure the latest version does what needs to be done. Both directly affect the user space ABI, so I think it's best to not be too hasty with pushing this upstream. Waiting one release while having a stable final patch gives people the chance to go and try to use it for their purposes and thus both test the code more and get experience with the ABI.
