From f85671c6ef46d490a90dac719e0c0e0adbacfd9b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Vernet Date: Fri, 31 Mar 2023 14:57:32 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] bpf: Remove now-defunct task kfuncs In commit 22df776a9a86 ("tasks: Extract rcu_users out of union"), the 'refcount_t rcu_users' field was extracted out of a union with the 'struct rcu_head rcu' field. This allows us to safely perform a refcount_inc_not_zero() on task->rcu_users when acquiring a reference on a task struct. A prior patch leveraged this by making struct task_struct an RCU-protected object in the verifier, and by bpf_task_acquire() to use the task->rcu_users field for synchronization. Now that we can use RCU to protect tasks, we no longer need bpf_task_kptr_get(), or bpf_task_acquire_not_zero(). bpf_task_kptr_get() is truly completely unnecessary, as we can just use RCU to get the object. bpf_task_acquire_not_zero() is now equivalent to bpf_task_acquire(). In addition to these changes, this patch also updates the associated selftests to no longer use these kfuncs.
