[RFC,bpf-next,v1,2/8] bpf: Record back pointer to the inode in bpffs

Commit Message

Hao Luo Jan. 6, 2022, 9:50 p.m. UTC

When an object is pinned in bpffs, record the bpffs inode in the object.
The previous patch introduced bpf_watch_inode(), which can also be used
to watch the bpffs inode. This capability will be used in the following
patches to expose bpf objects to file systems where the nodes in the
file system are not backed by an inode.
