Subject: [PATCH] selftests/bpf: replace bpf_probe_read_kernel with direct access
Date: Thu, 23 Apr 2026 00:07:57 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260422183757.15069-1-suchitkarunakaran@gmail.com> (raw)

Use direct field access instead of bpf_probe_read_kernel() for
nlk->groups[0] and inode->i_ino, and clean up related code.

Removes obsolete FIXME comments and unused variable.
