Hello, At the moment, bpf.h defines struct bpf_if differently depending on whether BPF_INTERNAL is #defined. This causes problems with CTF, as it results in a sort of bifurcation within the type graph: CTF sees two different struct bpf_ifs, and so every struct/union containing a struct bpf_if is duplicated, and so on. CTF currently imposes a limit of 2^15 distinct types within a container, and several people have been running into this limit. The type duplication exacerbates this problem.
The change here fixes the issue by moving the definition of struct bpf_if to bpf.c, and making its externally-used fields available via struct bpf_if_ext: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D2319 In particular, the ext fields are at the same offsets within struct bpf_if as before, so this change should have no functional impact. Moreover, it reduces the number of types from 20879 to 15725 with my (stripped-down) kernel config on amd64. Would anyone be willing to review the proposed change? I've also placed the raw diff here: https://people.freebsd.org/~markj/patches/bpf_entrails.diff Thanks, -Mark _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-net-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
