Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v3 10/16] bpf: Support lockless unlink when freeing map or local storage
Date: Thu, 18 Dec 2025 09:56:20 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251218175628.1460321-11-ameryhung@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251218175628.1460321-1-ameryhung@gmail.com>
Introduce bpf_selem_unlink_lockless() to properly handle errors returned
from rqspinlock in bpf_local_storage_map_free() and
bpf_local_storage_destroy() where the operation must succeeds.
The idea of bpf_selem_unlink_lockless() is to allow an selem to be
partially linked and use refcount to determine when and who can free the
selem. An selem initially is fully linked to a map and a local storage
and therefore selem->link_cnt is set to 2. Under normal circumstances,
bpf_selem_unlink_lockless() will be able to grab locks and unlink
an selem from map and local storage in sequeunce, just like
bpf_selem_unlink(), and then add it to a local tofree list provide by
the caller. However, if any of the lock attempts fails, it will
only clear SDATA(selem)->smap or selem->local_storage depending on the
caller and decrement link_cnt to signal that the corresponding data
structure holding a reference to the selem is gone. Then, only when both
map and local storage are gone, an selem can be free by the last caller
that turns link_cnt to 0.
To make sure bpf_obj_free_fields() is done only once and when map is
still present, it is called when unlinking an selem from b->list under
b->lock.
To make sure uncharging memory is only done once and when owner is still
present, only unlink selem from local_storage->list in
bpf_local_storage_destroy() and return the amount of memory to uncharge
to the caller (i.e., owner) since the map associated with an selem may
already be gone and map->ops->map_local_storage_uncharge can no longer
be referenced.
Finally, access of selem, SDATA(selem)->smap and selem->local_storage
are racy. Callers will protect these fields with RCU.
