Subject: [RFC PATCH v1 09/10] bpf: dispatch to sleepable file dynptr
Date: Fri, 3 Oct 2025 17:04:15 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251003160416.585080-10-mykyta.yatsenko5@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251003160416.585080-1-mykyta.yatsenko5@gmail.com>
From: Mykyta Yatsenko <yatsenko@meta.com>
File dynptr reads may sleep when the requested folios are not in
the page cache. To avoid sleeping in non-sleepable contexts while still
supporting valid sleepable use, given that dynptrs are non-sleepable by
default, enable sleeping only when bpf_dynptr_from_file() is invoked
from a sleepable context.
This change:
* Introduces a sleepable constructor: bpf_dynptr_from_file_sleepable()
* Detects whether the kfunc is called in a sleepable context and
stores the result in bpf_insn_aux_data (kfunc_in_sleepable_ctx)
* Rewrites bpf_dynptr_from_file() calls to the sleepable variant when
kfunc_in_sleepable_ctx is set
