I'm not sure to be honest, but I'll raise that as a question to the
patch submitter. I'm not very familiar with BPF, just saw the suggestion
to ship pre-built BPF bytecode and was concerned this would not be
acceptable for Fedora.
Is this about ebpf/rss.bpf.c? It looks more like an attempt to bypass
the Fedora kernel module policy.
Thanks,
