Subject: [PATCH v2 08/23] mm: introduce BPF kfuncs to deal with memcg pointers
Date: Mon, 27 Oct 2025 16:17:11 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251027231727.472628-9-roman.gushchin@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251027231727.472628-1-roman.gushchin@linux.dev>

To effectively operate with memory cgroups in BPF there is a need
to convert css pointers to memcg pointers. A simple container_of
cast which is used in the kernel code can't be used in BPF because
from the verifier's point of view that's a out-of-bounds memory access.

Introduce helper get/put kfuncs which can be used to get
a refcounted memcg pointer from the css pointer:
  - bpf_get_mem_cgroup,
  - bpf_put_mem_cgroup.

bpf_get_mem_cgroup() can take both memcg's css and the corresponding
cgroup's "self" css. It allows it to be used with the existing cgroup
iterator which iterates over cgroup tree, not memcg tree.
