Subject: [RFC PATCH 3/9] bpf: Add sleepable variant of bpf_arena_alloc_pages for kernel callers
Date: Mon, 27 Apr 2026 00:51:03 -1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260427105109.2554518-4-tj@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260427105109.2554518-1-tj@kernel.org>
The existing kernel-side export of bpf_arena_alloc_pages is _non_sleepable
only - it's used by the verifier to inline the kfunc when the call site is
non-sleepable. There is no sleepable equivalent for kernel callers; the
kfunc bpf_arena_alloc_pages itself is BPF-only.
sched_ext needs sleepable kernel-side allocs for its arena pool init/grow
paths. Add bpf_arena_alloc_pages_sleepable() mirroring the _non_sleepable
wrapper but passing sleepable=true to arena_alloc_pages().
