Humm, this seems to rely on a debugging feature (setting something to a
trap value), i.e. list poisoning, shouldn't establish that removal needs
to be done via list_del_init() and then we would just check it with
list_empty(), which would be just like that bug we fixed recently wrt
thread__put(), the check, i.e. this is not problematic:

 		list_del_init(&op->list);
 		list_del_init(&op->list);

And after:

		list_del_init(&op->list);

if you wanted for some reason to check if it was unlinked, this would do
the trick:

		if (!list_empty(&op->list) /* Is op in a list? */
			list_del_init(&op->list);

static void bpf_map_op__free(struct bpf_map_op *op)
{
	list_del(&op->list); /* Make sure it is removed */
	free(op);
}

If we make sure that all list removal is done with list_del_init().

But then, this "make sure it is removed" looks strange, this should be
done only if it isn't linked, no? Perhaps use refcounts here?

I.e. this function could be rewritten as:

I.e. here you would remove the thing and then call the delete()
operation for bpf_map_op, otherwise that delete().

Also normally this would be called bpf_map_priv__purge(), i.e. remove
entries and delete them, used in tools in:

[acme@jouet linux]$ find tools/ -name "*.c" | xargs grep __purge
tools/perf/builtin-buildid-cache.c:static int build_id_cache__purge_path(const char *pathname)
tools/perf/builtin-buildid-cache.c:				if (build_id_cache__purge_path(pos->s)) {
tools/perf/util/evlist.c:static void perf_evlist__purge(struct perf_evlist *evlist)
tools/perf/util/evlist.c:	perf_evlist__purge(evlist);
tools/perf/util/map.c:static void __maps__purge(struct maps *maps)
tools/perf/util/map.c:	__maps__purge(maps);
tools/perf/util/annotate.c:void disasm__purge(struct list_head *head)
tools/perf/util/annotate.c:	disasm__purge(&symbol__annotation(sym)->src->source);
tools/perf/util/machine.c:static void dsos__purge(struct dsos *dsos)
tools/perf/util/machine.c:	dsos__purge(dsos);
[acme@jouet linux]$

And in the kernel proper in:

[acme@jouet linux]$ find . -name "*.c" | xargs grep [a-z]_purge  | wc -l
1009

Most notable examples:

/**
 *      __skb_queue_purge - empty a list
 *      @list: list to empty
 *
 *      Delete all buffers on an &sk_buff list. Each buffer is removed from
 *      the list and one reference dropped. This function does not take the
 *      list lock and the caller must hold the relevant locks to use it.
 */
static inline void __skb_queue_purge(struct sk_buff_head *list)
{
        struct sk_buff *skb;
        while ((skb = __skb_dequeue(list)) != NULL)
                kfree_skb(skb);
}

/**
 *      skb_queue_purge - empty a list
 *      @list: list to empty
 *
 *      Delete all buffers on an &sk_buff list. Each buffer is removed from
 *      the list and one reference dropped. This function takes the list
 *      lock and is atomic with respect to other list locking functions.
 */
void skb_queue_purge(struct sk_buff_head *list)
{
        struct sk_buff *skb;
        while ((skb = skb_dequeue(list)) != NULL)
                kfree_skb(skb);
}

Where the delete() operation is called kfree_skb() and notice that it is called
only after the object (skb) is unlinked from whatever lists it sits on.

I'd name it bpf_map_op__new(), for consistency with other tools/perf/ code, but
wouldn't fight too much about using both __alloc() and __new() for constructors
while __free() and __delete() for destructors :-\

Can't this bpf_map specific stuff be done on the caller? I.e. it looks like a
layering violation,  i.e. the method is called "bpf_map_op__alloc", this is
something that is related to a bpf_map_op instance, but in the end it allocates
a new instance of a bpf_map_op _and_ adds it to the bpf_map passed as a parameter.

I would expect it to be like:

	op = bpf_map_op__new(); // i.e.: op = bpf_map_op__alloc();
	bpf_map__add(map, op);

And bpf_map__add_op() would to the map->priv allocation if needed, which would
be natural, as bpf_map__ functions touches bpf_map internals.

This should be:

  bpf_map__

Ditto f or other functions below that operate on struct bpf_map.
