Cool that the term isn't defined once in the post.
- bifrost 7y agoIts a pretty technical post, I'm guessing its intended audience knows what the BPF is?
- uberalex 7y agoThis other article seems to explain it https://lwn.net/Articles/740157/ https://lwn.net/Articles/740157/
- packetslave 7y agoThe target audience for LWN doesn't need eBPF defined for them.
- corbet 7y agoIt's hard to decide what we need to define and what we don't. In this case, I kind of opted for assuming that the readers know what BPF is, given that a fairly high percentage of our articles seem to be about BPF these days. Still, I'll try to include a link next time, sorry. Meanwhile, the LWN kernel index (https://lwn.net/Kernel/Index/#Berkeley_Packet_Filter https://lwn.net/Kernel/Index/#Berkeley_Packet_Filter) will lead you to more information about BPF than you ever wanted.
