[PATCH bpf-next 4/5] bpf: Remove bpf_cpumask_kptr_get() kfunc

From: David Vernet
Date: Wed Mar 15 2023 - 21:41:46 EST


Now that struct bpf_cpumask is RCU safe, there's no need for this kfunc.
Rather than doing the following:

private(MASK) static struct bpf_cpumask __kptr *global;

int BPF_PROG(prog, s32 cpu, ...)
{
struct bpf_cpumask *cpumask;

bpf_rcu_read_lock();
cpumask = bpf_cpumask_kptr_get(&global);
if (!cpumask) {
bpf_rcu_read_unlock();
return -1;
}
bpf_cpumask_setall(cpumask);
...
bpf_cpumask_release(cpumask);
bpf_rcu_read_unlock();
}

Programs can instead simply do this (assume same global cpumask):

int BPF_PROG(prog, ...)
{
struct bpf_cpumask *cpumask;

bpf_rcu_read_lock();
cpumask = global;
if (!cpumask) {
bpf_rcu_read_unlock();
return -1;
}
bpf_cpumask_setall(cpumask);
...
bpf_rcu_read_unlock();
}

In other words, no extra atomic acquire / release, and less boilerplate
code.

This patch removes both the kfunc, and its selftests. A subsequent patch
will update the BPF documentation to use the new method for accessing
cpumasks with RCU protection.
