Re: [PATCH bpf-next v2 2/2] bpf, mips: Add support for BPF_SDIV and BPF_SMOD

Hi Nicholas,

Thanks for putting in the work on this.

Yes. I think BSWAP and JMP32_JA will be independent of the SDIV/SMOD
and MOVSX/MEMSX handling, so we can work in parallel on this.

Great.

Good. I also have a QEMU test setup that I will use for verification:
mips32, mips32r2, mips32r6 and mips64 (pre-R6), both big and little
endian.

Yes, sounds like a good plan.

Thanks,
