You mean that you have:
function start:
__bpf_prog_enter_recur()
bpf_program1()
__bpf_prog_enter_recur()
bpf_program2();
__bpf_prog_exit_recur()
__bpf_prog_exit_recur()
rest of function
That is, a bpf program can be called within another bpf pogram between
the prog_enter and prog_exit(), that is in the same context (normal,
softirq, irq, etc)?
The protection is on the trampoline where the bpf program is called.
Not sure how ftrace can stop BPF or BPF stop ftrace, unless bpf is
tracing a ftrace callback, or ftrace is tracing a bpf function.
