Thanks Martin. Sure, I agree. Let's drop this patch.

Sure. Please give me a clear reminder next time that it's time to resend
a new version of the patches.

We are implementing MPTCP packet scheduler using BPF. Patches aren't
sent to BPF mail list yet, only temporarily on our mptcp repo[1].
Here are the patches:
selftests/bpf: Add bpf_burst test
selftests/bpf: Add bpf_burst scheduler
bpf: Export more bpf_burst related functions
selftests/bpf: Add bpf_red test
selftests/bpf: Add bpf_red scheduler
selftests/bpf: Add bpf_rr test
selftests/bpf: Add bpf_rr scheduler
selftests/bpf: Add bpf_bkup test
selftests/bpf: Add bpf_bkup scheduler
selftests/bpf: Add bpf_first test
selftests/bpf: Add bpf_first scheduler
selftests/bpf: Add bpf scheduler test
selftests/bpf: add two mptcp netns helpers
selftests/bpf: use random netns name for mptcp
selftests/bpf: Add mptcp sched structs
bpf: Add bpf_mptcp_sched_kfunc_set
bpf: Add bpf_mptcp_sched_ops
If you could take a look at these patches in advance, I would greatly
appreciate it. Any feedback is welcome.
