Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v2 3/3] selftests/bpf: Test module kfunc calls under spin lock
Date: Wed, 5 Aug 2026 23:33:40 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260805153340.34776-4-kaitao.cheng@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260805153340.34776-1-kaitao.cheng@linux.dev>
From: Kaitao Cheng <chengkaitao@kylinos.cn>
The verifier uses kfunc registration flags to decide whether a kfunc may
be called while a BPF program holds a bpf_spin_lock.
Mark bpf_testmod_test_mod_kfunc() as KF_SPINLOCK_SAFE and verify that it
can be called while holding a bpf_spin_lock. Also attempt to call the
unmarked bpf_kfunc_trigger_ctx_check() under the lock and verify that the
program is rejected.
