Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v1 1/2] resolve_btfids: Emit arena attributes from kfunc parameter suffixes
Date: Sun, 9 Aug 2026 10:51:53 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260809085155.3305519-2-memxor@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260809085155.3305519-1-memxor@gmail.com>
Kfunc declarations can identify arena arguments through parameter name
suffixes without repeating KF_ARENA_ARG flags in their BTF ID sets.
resolve_btfids currently misses those arguments when synthesizing the
address_space(1) attributes used by generated vmlinux.h files.
Teach the arena prototype rewrite to recognize __arena and
__arena__nullable directly on each parameter. Keep KF_ARENA_ARG1 and
KF_ARENA_ARG2 handling for explicitly flagged kfuncs, while allowing
suffixes on any argument without synthesizing kfunc flags.
