I don't think it is the usual bpf_struct_ops implementation which only uses READ_ONCE and WRITE_ONCE to protect the registered ops. tcp-cc uses a refcnt+rcu. It seems hid uses synchronize_srcu(). sched_ext seems to also use kthread_flush_work() to wait for all ops calling finished. Meaning I don't think the current bpf_struct_ops unreg implementation will run into this issue for sleepable ops.


Thanks for the explanation.

Are you saying that it's not the struct_ops framework's
responsibility to ensure the struct_ops map is not
released while it may be still in use? And the "bug" in
this series should be "fixed" in the test, namely this
patch?

The current synchronize_rcu_mult(call_rcu, call_rcu_tasks) is only needed for the tcp-cc because a tcp-cc's ops (which uses refcnt+rcu) can decrement its own refcnt. Looking back, this was a mistake (mine). A new tcp-cc ops should have been introduced instead to return a new tcp-cc-ops to be used.

Not quite clear, but from the description, it seems that
the synchronize_rcu_mult(call_rcu, call_rcu_tasks) could
be just removed in some way, no need to do a cleanup to
switch it to call_rcu.
