Subject: [PATCH v9 bpf-next 2/9] bpf: Add verifier support for bpf_timer argument in kfuncs
Date: Sat, 31 Jan 2026 18:53:56 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260201025403.66625-3-alexei.starovoitov@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260201025403.66625-1-alexei.starovoitov@gmail.com>

From: Mykyta Yatsenko <yatsenko@meta.com>

Extend the verifier to recognize struct bpf_timer as a valid kfunc
argument type. Previously, bpf_timer was only supported in BPF helpers.

This prepares for adding timer-related kfuncs in subsequent patches.
