[RFC,bpf-next,v6,3/6] bpf/helpers: introduce bpf_timer_set_sleepable_cb() kfunc

Commit Message

Benjamin Tissoires April 8, 2024, 8:09 a.m. UTC

In this patch, bpf_timer_set_sleepable_cb() is functionally equivalent
to bpf_timer_set_callback(), to the exception that it enforces
the timer to be started with BPF_F_TIMER_SLEEPABLE.

But given that bpf_timer_set_callback() is a helper when
bpf_timer_set_sleepable_cb() is a kfunc, we need to teach the verifier
about its attached callback.
Marking that callback as sleepable will be done in a separate patch

Acked-by: Eduard Zingerman <[e-mail]>

---

changes in v6:
- adapted for flags being set during timer_init

changes in v5:
- enforced sleepable timers to only have BPF_F_TIMER_SLEEPABLE
- use is_bpf_timer_set_sleepable_cb_impl_kfunc() instead of generic
  is_async_cb()

changes in v4:
- added a new (ignored) argument to the kfunc so that we do not
  need to wlak the stack

new in v3 (split from v2 02/10)

Note:
this hunk does not apply cleanly on top of current master.
The line 'BTF_ID_FLAGS(func, bpf_modify_return_test_tp)'
was added to the list since last time current patch-set was merged.

Oops, thanks for the update.

Just to be clear, I already mentioned it in the cover letter, but this
series is not intended to be merged just now (thus RFC again). The
plan is to add a new bpf_wq API on the side, and compare it with this
v6 to see which one is best, because I am trying to force the
workqueue API into a timer, when it's getting further and further away
from each other.

Cheers,
Benjamin
