Subject: [PATCH v4 0/6] bpf: Extend the bpf_list family of APIs
Date: Tue, 3 Mar 2026 21:52:13 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260303135219.33726-1-pilgrimtao@gmail.com> (raw)
From: Kaitao Cheng <chengkaitao@kylinos.cn>
In BPF, a list can only be used to implement a stack structure.
Due to an incomplete API set, only FIFO or LIFO operations are
supported. The patches enhance the BPF list API, making it more
list-like.
Five new kfuncs have been added:
bpf_list_del: remove a node from the list
bpf_list_add_impl: insert a node after a given list node
bpf_list_is_first: check if a node is the first in the list
bpf_list_is_last: check if a node is the last in the list
bpf_list_empty: check if the list is empty
Changes in v4:
- [patch v3 1/6] Revert to version v1
- Change the parameters of bpf_list_add_impl to (head, new, prev, ...)
Changes in v3:
- Add a new lock_rec member to struct bpf_reference_state for lock
holding detection.
- Add test cases to verify that the verifier correctly restricts calls
to bpf_list_del when the spin_lock is not held.
Changes in v2:
- Remove the head parameter from bpf_list_del
- Add bpf_list_add/is_first/is_last/empty to API and test cases
