Commit Message

Add support for pointer to mem register spilling, to allow the verifier
to track pointer to valid memory addresses. Such pointers are returned
for example by a successful call of the bpf_ringbuf_reserve helper.

This patch was suggested as a solution by Yonghong Song.

The patch was partially contibuted by CyberArk Software, Inc.

Fixes: 457f44363a88 ("bpf: Implement BPF ring buffer and verifier
support for it")

nit: pointers

You can use the "Suggested-by:" tag for this.

nit: typo *contributed

Also, I was wondering if "partially" here means someone collaborated with you
on the patch? And, in that case:

"Co-developed-by:" would be a better tag here.

Thanks. Should I submit a v2 of the patch to correct all of those?

No, I did it alone. I mentioned CyberArk since I work there and did some of the
coding during my daily work, so they deserve credit.

Especially for first-time contributors there is usually some luxury that we
would have fixed this up on the fly while applying. ;) But given a v2 is going
to be sent anyway it's good to point it out for future reference, agree.

Thanks,
Daniel
