Jakub, you repeatedly demonstrated lack of understanding of what
bpf_link is despite multiple attempts from me, Andrii and others.
At this point I don't believe in your good intent.
Your repeated attacks on BPF in every thread are out of control.
I kept ignoring your insults for long time, but I cannot do this anymore.
Please find other threads to contribute your opinions.
They are not welcomed here.

This is dumbest idea I've heard in a long time.
May be kernel shouldn't have done ACLs and did notifications only
when file is accessed by a task that shouldn't have accessed it?
Same level of craziness.
