Thanks for the informaiton. I am truely not aware of bit field layout
could be different for different compilers. Does this mean source
level bitfield manipulation may not work?
uapi has bitfield is okay. compiler should do the right thing to
do load/store in bitfields. Also, the networking bitfields are
related memory layout transferring on the wire. Its memory
layout is determined (although little/big endian interpresentation
is different).
BPF_CORE_WRITE_BITFIELD 'should' also be okay since the offset/size
etc. is gotten from the compiler internals (from dwarf in more
precise term).
So looks like BPF_CORE_WRITE_BITFIELD is the way to go.
Please use it then.
