[bpf-next,0/2] Sleepable local storage

Message

Local storage is currently unusable in sleepable helpers. One of the
important use cases of local_storage is to attach security (or
performance) contextual information to kernel objects in LSM / tracing
programs to be used later in the life-cyle of the object.

Sometimes this context can only be gathered from sleepable programs
(because it needs accesing __user pointers or helpers like
bpf_ima_inode_hash). Allowing local storage to be used from sleepable
programs allows such context to be managed with the benefits of
local_storage.

KP Singh (2):
  bpf: Allow bpf_local_storage to be used by sleepable programs
  bpf/selftests: Update local storage selftest for sleepable programs
