Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 1/3] bpf: Consolidate sleepable checks in check_helper_call()
Date: Wed, 18 Mar 2026 10:43:24 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260318174327.3151925-2-puranjay@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260318174327.3151925-1-puranjay@kernel.org>

check_helper_call() prints the error message for every
env->cur_state->active* element when calling a sleepable helper.
Consolidate all of them into a single print statement.

The check for env->cur_state->active_locks was not part of the removed
print statements and will not be triggered with the consolidated print
as well because it is checked in do_check() before check_helper_call()
is even reached.
