Some of this affects tracing.Ok, I thought time up to v5 was long enough. Anyway, in case there are objections I can still toss out the series from bpf-next tree worst case should e.g. follow-up fixups not be appropriate.Yeah, I've been traveling a bit which slowed down my review process (trying to catch up).
v1 of this set was posted Feb 28. imo one month is not an acceptable delay for maintainer to review the patches. You really need to consider group maintainership as we do with Daniel for bpf tree.
My main concern is with patch 6, as there are external users of those functions. Although, we generally don't cater to out of tree code, we play nice with LTTng, and I don't want to break it.
out-of-tree module is out of tree. I'm beyond surprised that you propose to keep for_each_kernel_tracepoint() as-is with zero in-tree users in order to keep lttng working.
I also should probably pull in the patches and run them through my tests to make sure they don't have any other side effects.
so let me rephrase. You're saying that a change to a function with zero in-tree users can somehow break your tests? How is that possible? Does it mean you also have some out-of-tree modules that will break? and that _is_ the real reason for objection?
