Subject: [PATCH bpf v5 4/8] bpf: consolidate sleepable checks in check_func_call()
Date: Thu, 26 Feb 2026 08:14:53 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260226161500.775715-5-puranjay@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260226161500.775715-1-puranjay@kernel.org>
The sleepable context check for global function calls in
check_func_call() open-codes the same checks that in_sleepable_context()
already performs. Replace the open-coded check with a call to
in_sleepable_context() and use non_sleepable_context_description() for
the error message, consistent with check_helper_call() and
check_kfunc_call().
Note that in_sleepable_context() also checks active_locks, which
overlaps with the existing active_locks check above it. However, the two
checks serve different purposes: the active_locks check rejects all
global function calls while holding a lock (not just sleepable ones), so
it must remain as a separate guard.
Update the expected error messages in the irq and preempt_lock selftests
to match.
