Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v11 4/8] bpf: Introduce the bpf_list_del kfunc.
Date: Thu, 21 May 2026 11:23:02 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260521032306.97118-5-kaitao.cheng@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260521032306.97118-1-kaitao.cheng@linux.dev>
From: Kaitao Cheng <chengkaitao@kylinos.cn>
Allow users to remove any node from a linked list.
We have added an additional parameter bpf_list_head *head to
bpf_list_del, as the verifier requires the head parameter to
check whether the lock is being held.
