Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v5 2/8] resolve_btfids: Factor out load_btf()
Date: Thu, 18 Dec 2025 16:31:41 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251219003147.587098-3-ihor.solodrai@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251219003147.587098-1-ihor.solodrai@linux.dev>
Increase the lifetime of parsed BTF in resolve_btfids by factoring
load_btf() routine out of symbols_resolve() and storing the base_btf
and btf pointers in the struct object.
Acked-by: Eduard Zingerman <eddyz87@gmail.com>
