Merge branch 'bpf: Remove recursion check for struct_ops prog'
Martin KaFai Lau says:
====================
From: Martin KaFai Lau <martin.lau@kernel.org>
The struct_ops is sharing the tracing-trampoline's enter/exit
function which tracks prog->active to avoid recursion. It turns
out the struct_ops bpf prog will hit this prog->active and
unnecessarily skipped running the struct_ops prog. eg. The
'.ssthresh' may run in_task() and then interrupted by softirq
that runs the same '.ssthresh'.
The kernel does not call the tcp-cc's ops in a recursive way,
so this set is to remove the recursion check for struct_ops prog.
v3:
- Clear the bpf_chg_cc_inprogress from the newly cloned tcp_sock
in tcp_create_openreq_child() because the listen sk can
be cloned without lock being held. (Eric Dumazet)
v2:
- v1 [0] turned into a long discussion on a few cases and also
whether it needs to follow the bpf_run_ctx chain if there is
tracing bpf_run_ctx (kprobe/trace/trampoline) running in between.
It is a good signal that it is not obvious enough to reason
about it and needs a tradeoff for a more straight forward approach.
This revision uses one bit out of an existing 1 byte hole
in the tcp_sock. It is in Patch 4.
