From: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@xxxxxxxxxx> The __kptr_ref turned out to be too limited, since any "trusted" pointer access requires bpf_kptr_xchg() which is impractical when the same pointer needs to be dereferenced by multiple cpus. The __kptr "untrusted" only access isn't very useful in practice. Rename __kptr to __kptr_untrusted with eventual goal to deprecate it, and rename __kptr_ref to __kptr, since that looks to be more common use of kptrs. Introduce __kptr_rcu that can be directly dereferenced and used similar to native kernel C code. Once bpf_cpumask and task_struct kfuncs are converted to observe RCU GP when refcnt goes to zero, both __kptr and __kptr_untrusted can be deprecated and __kptr_rcu can become the only __kptr tag. Alexei Starovoitov (4): bpf: Rename __kptr_ref -> __kptr and __kptr -> __kptr_untrusted. bpf: Introduce kptr_rcu. selftests/bpf: Add a test case for kptr_rcu. selftests/bpf: Tweak cgroup kfunc test.
