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 (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, as well as its selftests and
documentation.
