Should also state what the expected return values are. What does a
return of "1" mean?

In earlier versions of this set I had detailed description of return
values from bpf program, somehow it got lost after all the revisions.
Will re-add.


You are no longer in the net/ world. The rest of the Linux coding style
is:

/*
* multi line comments
*/

Only DaveM gets away with that format ;-)

:)
since bpf was born in the net/ world all comments are in that style.
When it moved into kernel/bpf/ we've decided to keep net/ style in there
as well, but for this file I don't mind using !net style ;)
