Please see the SalesForce case for more information:
https:/
[Impact]
Without these patches, BPF functionality is incomplete in current 5.4 kernels
[Fix]
Add missing (networking) BPF code from upstream.
[Test]
The cloud vendor has tested these patches, before submitting them upsteam and then backporting for the Ubuntu 5.4 kernel
