Subject: [PATCH bpf-next] Documentation: Enhance readability in BPF docs
Date: Sun, 8 Jun 2025 01:24:25 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250607222434.227890-1-eslam.medhat1993@gmail.com> (raw)
The phrase "dividing -1" is one I find confusing. E.g.,
"INT_MIN dividing -1" sounds like "-1 / INT_MIN" rather than the inverse.
"divided by" instead of "dividing" assuming the inverse is meant.
