Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v1 02/18] bpf: Unify const map ptr argument checking for helpers and kfuncs
Date: Wed, 22 Jul 2026 22:07:50 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260723050806.1158442-3-ameryhung@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260723050806.1158442-1-ameryhung@gmail.com>
Both the helper ARG_CONST_MAP_PTR and the kfunc KF_ARG_PTR_TO_MAP
recorded the map pointer in meta->map and, when a map was already
bound by a preceding timer/workqueue/task_work argument, rejected a
mismatching map.
Factor the logic into a single process_map_ptr_arg() used by both
paths. The bound-object name (timer, workqueue, or bpf_task_work) is
derived from the bound map's btf_record, and the register numbers in
the message are computed from the map argument position instead of
being hard-coded.
