Based on some quick feedback from the user community (thanks!) we have
fixed a few minor issues with yesterday's release, and pushed an
update to the v2alpha branch in the github repo. The fixes can be
found at the latest tagged release:
  https://github.com/google/bbr/releases/tag/v2alpha-2021-01-15

The changes since yesterday's release:

(1) a bug fix for the warning that has been reported by a few users:
  WARN_ON_ONCE(bbr->prior_cwnd == 0);

(2) a fix for a compilation error caused for users of the following
  .config option:
    CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL=y

(3) enabled the .config option CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL=y to catch further issues
  of this kind

best,
neal

ps: as always, you can find the instructions to download and build
Linux TCP BBRv2 alpha here:
