Subject: [PATCH v3 1/6] bpf: Introduce the bpf_list_del kfunc.
Date: Mon,  2 Mar 2026 20:40:23 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260302124028.82420-2-pilgrimtao@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260302124028.82420-1-pilgrimtao@gmail.com>

From: Kaitao Cheng <chengkaitao@kylinos.cn>

If a user holds ownership of a node in the middle of a list, they
can directly remove it from the list without strictly adhering to
deletion rules from the head or tail.

When a kfunc has only one bpf_list_node parameter, supplement the
initialization of the corresponding btf_field. Add a new lock_rec
member to struct bpf_reference_state for lock holding detection.

This is typically paired with bpf_refcount. After calling
bpf_list_del, it is generally necessary to drop the reference to
the list node twice to prevent reference count leaks.
