Currently, we often run with a nop parser namely one that just does this, 'return skb->len'. This happens when either our verdict program can handle streaming data or it is only looking at socket data such as IP addresses and other metadata associated with the flow. The second case is common for a L3/L4 proxy for instance. So lets allow loading programs without the parser then we can skip the stream parser logic and avoid having to add a BPF program that is effectively a nop.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
