Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v10 2/8] bpf: clear list node owner and unlink before drop
Date: Tue, 28 Apr 2026 00:59:00 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260427165906.84420-3-kaitao.cheng@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260427165906.84420-1-kaitao.cheng@linux.dev>
From: Kaitao Cheng <chengkaitao@kylinos.cn>
When draining a BPF list_head, clear each node's owner pointer while still
holding the spinlock, so concurrent readers always see a consistent owner.
Delink each node with list_del_init() before calling __bpf_obj_drop_impl(),
preventing subsequent users who hold a reference count to the node from
acquiring an invalid next node.
