nit. It is a bit flag. Use (1U << 0) and (1U << 1) to make it more
obvious.

Will fix.

How about renaming this to BPF_MAP_RCU_GP and BPF_MAP_RCU_TT_GP to
better reflect it is used to decide if the map_free needs to wait for
any rcu gp?

OK. It is fine with me.

Instead of the enum flags, this should only need a true/false value to
tell whether the outer map has ever been used by a sleepable prog or
not. may be renaming this to "atomic used_by_sleepable;"?

I have considered about that. But there is maps which is only accessed
in userspace (e.g. map used in BPF_PROG_BIND_MAP or maps in test_maps),
so I though one bool is not enough.

Good point.

In this case, a nit on the name. The "prog_ctx" part in the owned_prog_ctx usually means a different thing, like the "struct __sk_buff". How about using this pair of names?

	 /* may be just "long" and then set_bit? */
	atomic_t used_in_rcu_gp;
	atomic_t free_by_rcu_gp;

shortened the name by removing the "_flags" suggested in the earlier comment.

Will do.

This part took my head spinning a little, so it is better to ask. The
owned_prog_ctx is set during verification time. There are many
instructions till the prog is actually verified, attached (another
syscall) and then run to do the actual lookup(&outer_map). Is this
level of reordering practically possible?

Er, I added the memory barrier due to uncertainty. According to [1],
My immediate thought was a more straight forward spin lock instead.

Agree that smp_mb() works as well, ok.

syscall doesn't imply a memory barrier. And If I understand correctly,
when the program is loaded and attached through bpf_sys_bpf, there will
be no new syscall. >

Is it better to add a rcu_head to the map and then use call_rcu_().
e.g. when there is many delete happened to the outer map during a
process restart to re-populate the outer map. It is relatively much
cheaper to add a rcu_head to the map comparing to adding one for each
elem. wdyt?

Good idea. call_rcu() will be much cheaper than synchronize_rcu(). Will do.

This is setting a bit. Would set_bit() work as good?

To make it clearer, can this be moved immediately after the set_bit / atomic_or above?
