From 23da464dd6b8935b66f4ee306ad8947fd32ccd75 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi Date: Fri, 4 Nov 2022 00:39:51 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] bpf: Allow specifying volatile type modifier for kptrs This is useful in particular to mark the pointer as volatile, so that compiler treats each load and store to the field as a volatile access. The alternative is having to define and use READ_ONCE and WRITE_ONCE in the BPF program.
