From: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@xxxxxxxxxx> BTF is required for 'struct bpf_timer' to be recognized inside map value. The bpf timers are supported inside inner maps. Remember 'struct btf *' in inner_map_meta to make it available to the verifier in the sequence: struct bpf_map *inner_map = bpf_map_lookup_elem(&outer_map, ...); if (inner_map) timer = bpf_map_lookup_elem(&inner_map, ...); Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@xxxxxxxxxx> --- kernel/bpf/map_in_map.c | 6 ++++++ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+) diff --git a/kernel/bpf/map_in_map.c b/kernel/bpf/map_in_map.c index 2f961b941159..d737cff90922 100644 --- a/kernel/bpf/map_in_map.c +++ b/kernel/bpf/map_in_map.c @@ -3,6 +3,7 @@ */ #include <linux/slab.h> #include <linux/bpf.h> +#include <linux/btf.h> #include "map_in_map.h" @@ -51,6 +52,10 @@ struct bpf_map *bpf_map_meta_alloc(int inner_map_ufd) inner_map_meta->max_entries = inner_map->max_entries; inner_map_meta->spin_lock_off = inner_map->spin_lock_off; inner_map_meta->timer_off = inner_map->timer_off; + if (inner_map->btf) { + btf_get(inner_map->btf); + inner_map_meta->btf = inner_map->btf; + } /* Misc members not needed in bpf_map_meta_equal() check. */ inner_map_meta->ops = inner_map->ops; @@ -66,6 +71,7 @@ struct bpf_map *bpf_map_meta_alloc(int inner_map_ufd) void bpf_map_meta_free(struct bpf_map *map_meta) { + btf_put(map_meta->btf); kfree(map_meta); } -- 2.30.2
