[PATCH bpf-next v2 0/4] bpf: Introduce deferred task context execution

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Mykyta Yatsenko <yatsenko@xxxxxxxx>

This patch introduces a new mechanism for BPF programs to schedule
deferred execution in the context of a specific task using the kernel’s
task_work infrastructure.

The new bpf_task_work interface enables BPF use cases that
require sleepable subprogram execution within task context, for example,
scheduling sleepable function from the context that does not
allow sleepable, such as NMI.

Introduced kfuncs bpf_task_work_schedule_signal() and
bpf_task_work_schedule_resume() for scheduling BPF callbacks correspond
to different modes used by task_work (TWA_SIGNAL or
TWA_RESUME/TWA_NMI_CURRENT).

The implementation manages scheduling state via metadata objects (struct
bpf_task_work_context). Pointers to bpf_task_work_context are stored
in BPF map values. State transitions are handled via an atomic
state machine (bpf_task_work_state) to ensure correctness under
concurrent usage and deletion.
Kfuncs call task_work_add() indirectly via irq_work to avoid locking in
potentially NMI context.
