From: "D. Wythe" <alibuda@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> This patches attempt to implements updating of progs within bpf netfilter link, allowing user update their ebpf netfilter prog in hot update manner. Besides, a corresponding test case has been added to verify whether the update works. -- v1: 1. remove unnecessary context, access the prog directly via rcu. 2. remove synchronize_rcu(), dealloc the nf_link via kfree_rcu. 3. check the dead flag during the update. -- v1->v2: 1. remove unnecessary nf_prog, accessing nf_link->link.prog in direct. -- v2->v3: 1. access nf_link->link.prog via rcu_dereference_raw to avoid warning. -- v3->v4: 1. remove mutex for link update, as it is unnecessary and can be replaced by atomic operations. -- D.
