From 7deca5eae83389ca40ac1b1bde96e4af17cca84f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dave Marchevsky Date: Mon, 24 Apr 2023 13:43:21 -0700 Subject: bpf: Disable bpf_refcount_acquire kfunc calls until race conditions are fixed As reported by Kumar in [0], the shared ownership implementation for BPF programs has some race conditions which need to be addressed before it can safely be used. This patch does so in a minimal way instead of ripping out shared ownership entirely, as proper fixes for the issues raised will follow ASAP, at which point this patch's commit can be reverted to re-enable shared ownership. The patch removes the ability to call bpf_refcount_acquire_impl from BPF programs. Programs can only bump refcount and obtain a new owning reference using this kfunc, so removing the ability to call it effectively disables shared ownership. Instead of changing success / failure expectations for bpf_refcount-related selftests, this patch just disables them from running for now.
