bpf: Introduce bpf_obj_drop
Introduce bpf_obj_drop, which is the kfunc used to free allocated objects (allocated using bpf_obj_new). Pairing with bpf_obj_new, it implicitly destructs the fields part of object automatically without user intervention. Just like the previous patch, btf_struct_meta that is needed to free up the special fields is passed as a hidden argument to the kfunc. For the user, a convenience macro hides over the kernel side kfunc which is named bpf_obj_drop_impl. Continuing the previous example: void prog(void) { struct foo *f; f = bpf_obj_new(typeof(*f)); if (!f) return; bpf_obj_drop(f); } Signed-off-by: Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi <memxor@gmail.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20221118015614.2013203-15-memxor@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>
