Subject: [RFD][PATCH] Add JMEMCMP to Berkeley Packet Filters
Date: Thu, 10 Feb 2011 12:14:46 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1297340087-10963-1-git-send-email-ian.molton@collabora.co.uk> (raw)

Hi folks,

This patch implements an extension for BPF to allow filter programs to use a
data section, along with a MEMCMP instruction.

There are a few issues noted in the patch itself, which can easily be
addressed, and I would like to check wether sk_run_filter is ever expected to
be called from a context that cannot sleep (I dont think it is).

I think the patch should probably be split into a patch to add data sections
and one adding the JMEMCMP instruction, but that can be done after some review! 

-Ian
