It needs to check for btf_is_module:

         if (!btf_is_module(btf)) {
             btf_put(btf);
             return ERR_PTR(-EINVAL);
         }

Even btf is btf_vmlinux the kernel's btf, it still works.

btf could be a bpf program's btf. It needs to ensure it is a kernel module btf here.

Got it!

Isn't btf_is_kernel() better here?
User space may pass a fd to btf_vmlinux.

Limit it to btf_is_module. What is the benefit of supporting btf_vmlinux as a fd while fd 0 already means btf_vmlinux?

kfunc does not support the btf_vmlinux as fd also, supporting in struct_ops alone is confusing. I don't think the major user (libbpf) does this either, so really not much usage other than a confusing API to have both fd == 0 and a btf_vmlinux's fd to mean btf_vmlinux.

It is fair.





Although libbpf pass 0 as the value of value_type_btf_obj_fd for
btf_vmlinux now, it should be OK for a user space loader to
pass a fd of btf_vmlinux.

WDYT?
