Subject: [PATCHv2 bpf-next 1/8] bpf: Honor const on generic kfunc memory arguments
Date: Tue, 3 Nov 2026 08:59:08 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261103075916.100050-2-jolsa@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261103075916.100050-1-jolsa@kernel.org>
Mark generic kfunc memory arguments as read-only when their BTF pointer
type points to const data. Preserve that access mode when resolving
scalar structs to fixed-size memory.
