Subject: Re: [PATCH] filter: added BPF random opcode

I think commit log should have more than one line,
especially for the new feature that affects uapi

In particular I don't find the reason of moving random
packet sampling into kernel to be that great.
pcap cannot receive them quickly enough anyway,
so there are drops already.
Just randomly pick packets that reached the user space.
Why add this to the kernel? I don't see how it can improve accuracy.

At the same time I think the extension technic itself is nice and clean :)
The call approach is definitely how we envisioned it to be used.
Right now we have only x86-64 jit that is waiting for net-next to be opened,
but this extension will be automatically jit-ed due to 'call approach'. Nice.

When you post patch revision please add vN tag.

function name is misleading. It has nothing to do with 'skb'. Please
drop that prefix.

we have 64-bit registers now, so would be nice to generalize it to 64-bit random
since 8/16/32 can be made with bpf_and operation.
but I don't see how to cleanly do it yet, so I guess the current form is fine.

I like the approach, but would be nice to hear better justification
for extending uapi.

Thanks!
