Hi Alexei, Daniel,

I'm looking at adding the __wifi_sk_buff I talked about, and I notice
that it uses CB space to store data_end. Unfortunately, in a lot of
cases, we don't have any CB space to spare in wifi.

I guess I can work around this, would this seem reasonable?

  struct bpf_skb_data_end {
         struct qdisc_skb_cb qdisc_cb;
-       void *data_end;
+       /*
+        * The alignment here is for mac80211, since that doesn't use
+        * a pointer but a u64 value and needs to save/restore that
+        * across running its BPF programs.
+        */
+       void *data_end __aligned(sizeof(u64));
  };

Yeah, should work as well for the 32 bit archs, on 64 bit we
have this effectively already:

struct bpf_skb_data_end {
        struct qdisc_skb_cb        qdisc_cb;             /*     0    28 */

        /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */

        void *                     data_end;             /*    32     8 */

        /* size: 40, cachelines: 1, members: 2 */
        /* sum members: 36, holes: 1, sum holes: 4 */
        /* last cacheline: 40 bytes */
};

Can you elaborate on why this works for mac80211? It uses cb
only up to that point from where you invoke the prog?
