Subject: [PATCH v5 bpf-next 1/4] bpf: Don't explicitly emit BTF for struct btf_iter_num
Date: Tue, 10 Oct 2023 10:56:34 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231010175637.3405682-2-davemarchevsky@fb.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20231010175637.3405682-1-davemarchevsky@fb.com>

Commit 6018e1f407cc ("bpf: implement numbers iterator") added the
BTF_TYPE_EMIT line that this patch is modifying. The struct btf_iter_num
doesn't exist, so only a forward declaration is emitted in BTF:

  FWD 'btf_iter_num' fwd_kind=struct

That commit was probably hoping to ensure that struct bpf_iter_num is
emitted in vmlinux BTF. A previous version of this patch changed the
line to emit the correct type, but Yonghong confirmed that it would
definitely be emitted regardless in [0], so this patch simply removes
the line.

This isn't marked "Fixes" because the extraneous btf_iter_num FWD wasn't
causing any issues that I noticed, aside from mild confusion when I
looked through the code.
