[PATCH bpf-next 0/3] writable contexts for bpf raw tracepoints

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This adds an opt-in interface for tracepoints to expose a writable context to
BPF_PROG_TYPE_RAW_TRACEPOINT_WRITABLE programs that are attached, while
supporting read-only access from existing BPF_PROG_TYPE_RAW_TRACEPOINT
programs, as well as from non-BPF-based tracepoints.

The initial motivation is to support tracing that can be observed from the
remote end of an NBD socket, e.g. by adding flags to the struct nbd_request
header.  Earlier attempts included adding an NBD-specific tracepoint fd, but in
code review, I was recommended to implement it more generically -- as a result,
this patchset is far simpler than my initial try.

  nbd: add tracepoints for send/receive timing

  bpf: add writable context for raw tracepoints
  nbd: trace sending nbd requests
