Blogposts, Reports and Write-ups moved

Notice that I've started writing blogposts over here:
 https://prototype-kernel.readthedocs.io/en/latest/blogposts/index.html

The Linux kernel have settled on a new documentation format called RST (ReStructuredText) combined with Sphinx which is used for linking the documentation files together. In my github repository prototype-kernel, I've also started to use this documentation format. (The site readthedocs.io will generate the Sphinx doc of my git repo).

The latest blogpost I wrote is about a new XDP feature that will appear in kernel v4.12.  This feature will make it easier to develop XDP programs, as it allow XDP programs to be attached to any Linux network device (net_device). Previously XDP programs could only be attached to NIC drivers that supports XDP natively. Do notice that it is slower to use XDP in this way.

For some ready to use XDP example programs look at my github repository prototype-kernel in directory: samples/bpf/. Simply run 'make' in that directory to build the bpf samples. The DDoS blacklist XDP program got covered at NetDev 2.1 conference (slides and YouTube video).
