Subject: [PATCH v8 mm-new 07/12] bpf: mark mm->owner as __safe_rcu_or_null
Date: Fri, 26 Sep 2025 17:33:38 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250926093343.1000-8-laoar.shao@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250926093343.1000-1-laoar.shao@gmail.com>

When CONFIG_MEMCG is enabled, we can access mm->owner under RCU. The
owner can be NULL. With this change, BPF helpers can safely access
mm->owner to retrieve the associated task from the mm. We can then make
policy decision based on the task attribute.

The typical use case is as follows,

  bpf_rcu_read_lock(); // rcu lock must be held for rcu trusted field
  @owner = @mm->owner; // mm_struct::owner is rcu trusted or null
  if (!@owner)
      goto out;

  /* Do something based on the task attribute */

out:
  bpf_rcu_read_unlock();
