Re: [PATCH] net: introduce SO_BPF_EXTENSIONS

Not sure I follow. Not going to accommodate, meaning at all or you
just my original approach? If later applies, I'll be happy to rewrite
the patch.

  i) Does BSD have such extensions and if so do we overlap some?

ii) Is it planned to also introduce SO_BPF_EXTENSIONS for BSD kernels
     to have one common api (that i.e. libpcap would then make use of)?
If it is useful to add any of the extensions, and they don't collide
with any other existing changes, then they might be added.
Adding a request that indicates which extensions are supported should
be easier than adding the extensions themselves.
Adding all the Linux extensions at once could be problematic.
Again, we're not going to accomodate this, sorry.
