Subject: Re: [PATCH bpf-next v4 01/12] bpf: pass the vmlinux BTF to btf_parse_module() and let it adopt the data
Date: Fri, 02 Oct 2026 09:14:09 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261002091409.677291F000FF@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261001225214.12351-2-wanjay@amazon.com>
> Make btf_parse_module() take the vmlinux BTF as an argument instead of
> fetching it with bpf_get_btf_vmlinux(), and add a data_owned flag: when
> set, the passed .BTF data is an already kvmalloc()ed copy that the new
> btf takes ownership of on success (on failure the caller keeps it).
>
> Factor the sysfs file creation out of the module notifier into
> btf_module_sysfs_add() and the teardown into btf_module_free(), and set
> btf_mod->module right after the allocation rather than under the mutex.
>
> No functional change. This prepares for CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=m, where a
> module can be loaded before the vmlinux BTF is available: its .BTF is
> then copied and exposed in sysfs first and parsed later, at which point
> the parser must take the copy as is so that the sysfs file keeps
> pointing at valid data.
