I guess we have a few different questions here: 1. Can we use bpf_jit_binary_alloc() for both regular page and shared huge page? I think the answer is no, as bpf_jit_binary_alloc() allocates a rw buffer, and arch calls bpf_jit_binary_lock_ro after JITing. The new allocator will return a slice of a shared huge page, which is locked RO before JITing. 2. The problem with bpf_prog_pack_max_size() limitation. I think this is the worst part of current version of bpf_prog_pack, but it shouldn't be too hard to fix. I will remove this limitation in the next version. 3. How to set proper header->size? I guess we can introduce something similar to bpf_arch_text_poke() for this? My proposal for the next version is: 1. No changes to archs that do not use huge page, just keep using bpf_jit_binary_alloc. 2. For x86_64 (and other arch that would support bpf program on huge pages): 2.1 arch/bpf_jit_comp calls bpf_jit_binary_alloc_pack() to allocate an RO bpf_binary_header; 2.2 arch allocates a temporary buffer for JIT. Once JIT is done, use text_poke_copy to copy the code to the RO bpf_binary_header. 3. Remove bpf_prog_pack_max_size limitation. Does this sound reasonable? Thanks, Song
