Subject: [PATCH 1/2] kernel/bpf: change "char *" string form to "char []"
Date: Thu, 12 May 2022 22:28:14 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220512142814.26705-1-liqiong@nfschina.com> (raw)

The string form of "char []" declares a single variable. It is better
than "char *" which creates two variables.
