[PATCH bpf-next v9 4/9] bpf: Introduce the bpf_list_del kfunc.
From: Chengkaitao
Date: Sun Mar 29 2026 - 10:06:51 EST
From: Kaitao Cheng <chengkaitao@xxxxxxxxxx>
Allow users to remove any node from a linked list.
We have added an additional parameter bpf_list_head *head to
bpf_list_del, as the verifier requires the head parameter to
check whether the lock is being held.
