To support the prog update, we need to ensure that the prog seen
within the hook is always valid. Considering that hooks are always
protected by rcu_read_lock(), which provide us the ability to
access the prog under rcu.

I have to point out the same issues as before, but
will ask them differently...

Why do you think above rcu_head is necessary?

Have you looked at tcx_link_lops ?

Introducing rcu_head/kfree_rcu is to address the situation where the netfilter hooks might
still access the link after bpf_nf_link_dealloc.

                                                     nf_hook_run_bpf
                                                     const struct bpf_nf_link *nf_link = bpf_link;

bpf_nf_link_release
    nf_unregister_net_hook(nf_link->net, &nf_link->hook_ops);

bpf_nf_link_dealloc
    free(link)
bpf_prog_run(link->prog);


I had checked the tcx_link_lops ,it's seems it use the synchronize_rcu() to solve the
same problem, which is also the way we used in the first version.

https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/1702467945-38866-1-git-send-email-alibuda@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

However, we have received some opposing views, believing that this is a bit overkill,
so we decided to use kfree_rcu.

Why do you need this mutex?
What race does it solve?

To avoid user update a link with differ prog at the same time. I noticed that sys_bpf() doesn't seem to prevent being invoked by user at the same time. Have I missed something?
