    Not right now. It's from many months ago. It's just a script I could find
    easily.

    There are some issues e.g. w/ lossy updates which should be fixed from BPF
    side but we do run BPF on every single packet and IO on most of our
    machines, so basing this argument on whether tracking all memory allocations
    from BPF is possible is probably not a winning strategy for this proposal.

    Thanks.
