Subject: [patch V2 05/20] bpf: Remove recursion prevention from rcu free callback
Date: Thu, 20 Feb 2020 21:45:22 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200220204617.828122368@linutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20200220204517.863202864@linutronix.de

If an element is freed via RCU then recursion into BPF instrumentation
functions is not a concern. The element is already detached from the map
and the RCU callback does not hold any locks on which a kprobe, perf event
or tracepoint attached BPF program could deadlock.
