May 1, 2025Monthly summary for 2025-05: Delivered a focused set of CLI, daemon, and build-system enhancements for bpfilter, along with broader test infrastructure improvements to boost reliability, performance visibility, and developer productivity. Key refactors and feature work include CLI ruleset handling improvements (prefixing parameters, renaming bf_ruleset to bfc_ruleset), centralizing ruleset action callbacks, and refactoring the commands parser; Daemon cgen pinning workflow improvements enabling pin/unpin from cgen.c with new helpers to open/remove the pin directory; and core/build quality improvements such as extending clang-tidy prefixes with _BFC and zero-initializing unions. Strengthened end-to-end testing and test environment by running the daemon with a custom bpffs path and mounting bpffs in the test container, plus test-harness/CI cleanliness (consolidated e2e scripts, harness cleanup, and documentation/test updates). Also added a BF_FLAGS() macro for bitflag generation and related benchmarking tooling improvements to track performance, with several unit test fixes and mocks adjustments for stability and realism. Overall, these efforts improve reliability, performance visibility, and maintainability, enabling faster delivery of robust features to customers while reducing test flakiness and operational risk.
