Jan 2021 - Apr 2021
ebpf-go is a pure-Go library to read, modify and load eBPF programs and attach them to various hooks in the Linux kernel.
Role in this project:Back-end Developer
Back-end DeveloperContributions:27 reviews, 6 commits, 7 PRs in 2 months
Contributions summary:Aditi primarily contributed to the `ebpf-go` library by implementing features related to map and program management. They added methods for pinning, unpinning, and checking the pinned state of maps and programs, as well as refactoring the code to use common pinning methods. Their work included adding test cases for these functionalities and ensuring proper error handling. The user also addressed potential issues with existing pinned paths.
