Not quite following what was the issue.
Since the verifier is unconditionally verifying such callback as sleepable
the callback won't be able to access rcu pointers without doing
explicit bpf_rcu_read_lock() first (and few other code patterns
might be rejected), but that's a good thing.
Maybe next to set_cb kfunc add a comment that wq callbacks are sleepable.
I think bpf prog writers are often with kernel background,
so it will be their natural assumption that cb is sleepable.
