Can we remove BPF_CGROUP_RUN_PROG_INET_INGRESS hook along with BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SKB program type? Obviously not. We can refactor it. We can move it around, but not remove. That's the difference in stable vs unstable. _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list Virtualization@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
