[PATCH v5 bpf-next 1/5] bpf: Remove redundant synchronize_rcu.

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

 



From: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@xxxxxxxxxx>

bpf_free_used_maps() or close(map_fd) will trigger map_free callback.
bpf_free_used_maps() is called after bpf prog is no longer executing:
bpf_prog_put->call_rcu->bpf_prog_free->bpf_free_used_maps.
Hence there is no need to call synchronize_rcu() to protect map elements.

Note that hash_of_maps and array_of_maps update/delete inner maps via
sys_bpf() that calls maybe_wait_bpf_programs() and synchronize_rcu().
