Unfortunately, some recent patches around CBL and kbuild miss my
Tested-by's and are already queued up in the remote Git's.
Maybe, I was simply pissed off this fact when writing my response to you.

Feel free to add my...

   Tested-by: Sedat Dilek <sedat.dilek@...il.com> # v1-v8 with
LLVM/Clang v11.0.1+ & v12.0.0-rc1 amd64

Looking at the (git) diff v7 -> v8 - seen from the code - nothing changed.

Feel free to add the links to thread(s) and patch(es) I gave as a
feedback in my other response.

One reason for missed Tested-by's I see is I am NOT subscribed to some
mailing-list.

"Nicht verkomplifizieren."
In English: "R(e)D(u)C(e) complexity" is normally one of my life philosophies.

Fighting with... "As usual: It has to work in my development
environment - first."

Sorry, I insisted that it *has* to work in my environment.
It has no secrets - all patches I have queued up in my custom patchset
is publically available.
That does not mean all of them are or will be upstreamed.

Bonne chance with the Linux-BPF folks and send my apologies to have fooled them.
It's one of my """strength of character""" (note 3 quotes) :-).
