Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v4 1/2] docs/bpf: Add table to describe LRU properties
Date: Sat, 1 Apr 2023 13:06:50 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230401200651.1022113-1-joe@isovalent.com> (raw)
Depending on the map type and flags for LRU, different properties are
global or percpu. Add a table to describe these.
