Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v2 01/15] bpf: Remove __rcu tagging in st_link->map
Date: Tue, 23 Jun 2026 10:49:49 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260623175006.3136053-2-ameryhung@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260623175006.3136053-1-ameryhung@gmail.com>
From: Martin KaFai Lau <martin.lau@kernel.org>
st_link->map is always written under update_mutex. The paths that read
st_link->map with rcu_read_lock() are not in the fast path, so they can
simply take update_mutex instead. Remove the __rcu annotation and replace
all RCU accessors with direct pointer reads under update_mutex. Use
READ_ONCE() in bpf_struct_ops_map_link_poll() which reads the pointer
without holding update_mutex.
It is a simplification change.
