Acked-by: Quentin Monnet <[email protected]> Regarding the discussion on JSON: If you need to check bpftool's output in other tests, it's probably OK to simply look at the plain output. We've been discouraging people to parse the plain output because it's not considered stable, but given that the tests and bpftool itself are in the same repo we could always adjust any test that would break if we changed something in the output. Thanks for your work on this! Quentin
