Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v1 05/10] bpf: compute instructions postorder per subprogram
Date: Wed, 10 Sep 2025 18:04:30 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250911010437.2779173-6-eddyz87@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250911010437.2779173-1-eddyz87@gmail.com>

The next patch would require doing postorder traversal of individual
subprograms. Facilitate this by moving env->cfg.insn_postorder
computation from check_cfg() to a separate pass, as check_cfg()
descends into called subprograms (and it needs to, because of
merge_callee_effects() logic).

env->cfg.insn_postorder is used only by compute_live_registers(),
this function does not track cross subprogram dependencies,
thus the change does not affect it's operation.
