Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v7 0/5] bpf: Extend the bpf_list family of APIs
Date: Sun,  8 Mar 2026 21:46:09 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260308134614.29711-1-pilgrimtao@gmail.com> (raw)

From: Kaitao Cheng <chengkaitao@kylinos.cn>

In BPF, a list can only be used to implement a stack structure.
Due to an incomplete API set, only FIFO or LIFO operations are
supported. The patches enhance the BPF list API, making it more
list-like.

Five new kfuncs have been added:
bpf_list_del: remove a node from the list
bpf_list_add_impl: insert a node after a given list node
bpf_list_is_first: check if a node is the first in the list
bpf_list_is_last: check if a node is the last in the list
bpf_list_empty: check if the list is empty

refactor kfunc checks to table-driven approach, and add test cases for
the aforementioned kfuncs.

Changes in v7:
- Replace bpf_list_node_is_edge with bpf_list_is_first/is_last
- Reimplement __bpf_list_del and __bpf_list_add
- Simplify test cases

Changes in v6:
- Merge [patch v5 (2,4,6)/6] into [patch v6 4/5]
- If list_head was 0-initialized, init it
- refactor kfunc checks to table-driven approach

Changes in v5:
- Fix bpf_obj leak on bpf_list_add_impl error

Changes in v4:
- [patch v3 1/6] Revert to version v1
- Change the parameters of bpf_list_add_impl to (head, new, prev, ...)

Changes in v3:
- Add a new lock_rec member to struct bpf_reference_state for lock
  holding detection.
- Add test cases to verify that the verifier correctly restricts calls
  to bpf_list_del when the spin_lock is not held.

Changes in v2:
- Remove the head parameter from bpf_list_del
- Add bpf_list_add/is_first/is_last/empty to API and test cases
