Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 02/10] bpf: Reuse MAX_BPF_FUNC_ARGS for maximum number of arguments
Date: Wed, 1 Apr 2026 18:27:37 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260402012737.3917194-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260402012727.3916819-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev>
Currently, MAX_BPF_FUNC_ARGS is used for tracepoint related progs where
the number of parameters cannot exceed MAX_BPF_FUNC_ARGS.
Here, MAX_BPF_FUNC_ARGS is reused to set a limit of the number of arguments
for bpf functions and kfunc's. The current value for MAX_BPF_FUNC_ARGS
is 12 which should be sufficient for majority of bpf functions and
kfunc's.
