Subject: [PATCH bpf-next] bpf, docs: Clarify which legacy packet instructions existed
Date: Tue, 30 Jan 2024 19:37:59 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240131033759.3634-1-dthaler1968@gmail.com> (raw)

As discussed in mailing list discussion at
https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/bpf/5LnnKm093cGpOmDI9TnLQLBXyys/
this patch updates the "Legacy BPF Packet access instructions"
section to clarify which instructions are deprecated (vs which
were never defined and so are not deprecated).

 -------------------------------------
 
 BPF previously introduced special instructions for access to packet data that were
-carried over from classic BPF. However, these instructions are
+carried over from classic BPF. These instructions used an instruction
+class of BPF_LD, a size modifier of BPF_W, BPF_H, or BPF_B, and a
+mode modifier of BPF_ABS or BPF_IND.  However, these instructions are
 deprecated and should no longer be used.  All legacy packet access
 instructions belong to the "legacy" conformance group instead of the "basic"
 conformance group.
