Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 2/6] workqueue: introduce a seq_file form for the workqueue iterator
Date: Tue, 28 Jul 2026 14:55:21 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260728065525.653171-3-imran.f.khan@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260728065525.653171-1-imran.f.khan@oracle.com>
Add a 'workqueue' BPF iterator target (bpftool-iter / pinnable) that
reuses the open-coded bpf_iter_workqueue_next().
Since the open-coded next() is KF_RCU_PROTECTED, the seq path supplies the
RCU section: seq_start() takes rcu_read_lock() and holds it across the read
chunk, so the returned workq and the cursor stay alive while the program
runs and next() steps; position is re-derived from *pos on each start, so
the cursor is never dereferenced across the RCU gap between chunks.
