Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v2 02/13] bpf: Introduce struct bpf_kfunc_meta
Date: Fri, 16 Jan 2026 12:16:49 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260116201700.864797-3-ihor.solodrai@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260116201700.864797-1-ihor.solodrai@linux.dev>
There is code duplication between add_kfunc_call() and
fetch_kfunc_meta() collecting information about a kfunc from BTF.
Introduce struct bpf_kfunc_meta to hold common kfunc BTF data and
implement fetch_kfunc_meta() to fill it in, instead of struct
bpf_kfunc_call_arg_meta directly.
Then use these in add_kfunc_call() and (new) fetch_kfunc_arg_meta()
functions, and fixup previous usages of fetch_kfunc_meta() to
fetch_kfunc_arg_meta().
Besides the code dedup, this change enables add_kfunc_call() to access
kfunc->flags.
