To struct bpf_prog_aux add: bool use_locked_kfunc:1; and set it in bpf_check_attach_target() if it's attaching to one of d_inode_locked_hooks Then in fixup_kfunc_call() call some helper that if (prog->aux->use_locked_kfunc && insn->imm == special_kfunc_list[KF_bpf_remove_dentry_xattr]) insn->imm = special_kfunc_list[KF_bpf_remove_dentry_xattr_locked]; The progs will be simpler and will suffer less churn when the kernel side changes.
