Subject: [PATCH bpf-next] bpf: clean up btf_scan_decl_tags()
Date: Wed,  3 Jun 2026 20:18:22 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260603201822.770596-1-mattbobrowski@google.com> (raw)

Refactor the newly introduced btf_scan_decl_tags() to improve
readability and maintainability. The current implementation uses a
manual if-else chain and a magic number offset to strip the "arg:"
prefix from declaration tags.

Replace the if-else logic with a table-driven approach using a static
const array. This separates the tag data from the scanning logic, making
the helper more extensible for future tags. Additionally, replace the
magic number '4' with a sizeof-based calculation on the prefix string to
ensure the offset remains synchronized with the search key.

Finally, optimize the loop by moving the is_global check to the top of
the block. This allows the verifier to fail-fast on static subprograms
without performing unnecessary BTF string and type lookups.
