Thanks. I just want to know whether we want to optimize such cases.
I am not a security expert, so I am okay with whatever decision you
made.

Indeed. 'sleepable BPF' might be also a good thing for realtime linux.
Some works need to address bpf area spin lock, per cpu variables, etc.
before that can happen.
