Subject: [PATCH RESEND bpf-next v10 6/8] bpf: add bpf_list_is_first/last/empty kfuncs
Date: Tue, 12 May 2026 13:59:17 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260512055919.95716-7-kaitao.cheng@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260512055919.95716-1-kaitao.cheng@linux.dev>
From: Kaitao Cheng <chengkaitao@kylinos.cn>
Add three kfuncs for BPF linked list queries:
- bpf_list_is_first(head, node): true if node is the first in the list.
- bpf_list_is_last(head, node): true if node is the last in the list.
- bpf_list_empty(head): true if the list has no entries.
Currently, without these kfuncs, to implement the above functionality
it is necessary to first call bpf_list_pop_front/back to retrieve the
first or last node before checking whether the passed-in node was the
first or last one. After the check, the node had to be pushed back into
the list using bpf_list_push_front/back, which was very inefficient.
Now, with the bpf_list_is_first/last/empty kfuncs, we can directly
check whether a node is the first, last, or whether the list is empty,
without having to first retrieve the node.
