Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v2 3/4] libbpf: fix error when st-prefix_ops and ops from differ btf
Date: Thu, 18 Sep 2025 16:03:40 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250918080342.25041-4-alibuda@linux.alibaba.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250918080342.25041-1-alibuda@linux.alibaba.com>
When a struct_ops named xxx_ops was registered by a module, and
it will be used in both built-in modules and the module itself,
so that the btf_type of xxx_ops will be present in btf_vmlinux
instead of in btf_mod, which means that the btf_type of
bpf_struct_ops_xxx_ops and xxx_ops will not be in the same btf.
Here are four possible case:
+--------+---------------+-------------+---------------------------------+
| | st_ops_xxx_ops| xxx_ops | |
+--------+---------------+-------------+---------------------------------+
| case 0 | btf_vmlinux | bft_vmlinux | be used and reg only in vmlinux |
+--------+---------------+-------------+---------------------------------+
| case 1 | btf_vmlinux | bpf_mod | INVALID |
+--------+---------------+-------------+---------------------------------+
| case 2 | btf_mod | btf_vmlinux | reg in mod but be used both in |
| | | | vmlinux and mod. |
+--------+---------------+-------------+---------------------------------+
| case 3 | btf_mod | btf_mod | be used and reg only in mod |
+--------+---------------+-------------+---------------------------------+
At present, cases 0, 1, and 3 can be correctly identified, because
st_ops_xxx_ops is searched from the same btf with xxx_ops. In order to
handle case 2 correctly without affecting other cases, we cannot simply
change the search method for st_ops_xxx_ops from find_btf_by_prefix_kind()
to find_ksym_btf_id(), because in this way, case 1 will not be
recognized anymore.
To address the issue, we always look for st_ops_xxx_ops first,
figure out the btf, and then look for xxx_ops with the very btf to avoid
such issue.
