Subject: [PATCH v3 5/6] bpf: add bpf_list_is_first/last/empty kfuncs
Date: Mon, 2 Mar 2026 20:40:27 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260302124028.82420-6-pilgrimtao@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260302124028.82420-1-pilgrimtao@gmail.com>
From: Kaitao Cheng <chengkaitao@kylinos.cn>
Add three kfuncs for BPF linked list queries:
- bpf_list_is_first(head, node): true if node is the first in the list.
- bpf_list_is_last(head, node): true if node is the last in the list.
- bpf_list_empty(head): true if the list has no entries.
In previous versions, to implement the above functionality, it was
necessary to first call bpf_list_pop_front/back to retrieve the first
or last node before checking whether the passed-in node was the first
or last one. After the check, the node had to be pushed back into the
list using bpf_list_push_front/back, which was very inefficient.
Now, with the bpf_list_is_first/last/empty kfuncs, we can directly
check whether a node is the first, last, or whether the list is empty,
without having to first retrieve the node.
