[bpf-next,v3,3/5] bpf: Allow helpers to accept pointers with a fixed size

Commit Message

Maxim Mikityanskiy Feb. 24, 2022, 3:11 p.m. UTC

Before this commit, the BPF verifier required ARG_PTR_TO_MEM arguments
to be followed by ARG_CONST_SIZE holding the size of the memory region.
The helpers had to check that size in runtime.

There are cases where the size expected by a helper is a compile-time
constant. Checking it in runtime is an unnecessary overhead and waste of
BPF registers.

This commit allows helpers to accept ARG_PTR_TO_MEM arguments without
the corresponding ARG_CONST_SIZE, given that they define the memory
region size in struct bpf_func_proto.
