Subject: bpf: Remove recursion prevention from rcu free callback
Patch-mainline: v5.7-rc1
Git-commit: 8a37963c7ac9ecb7f86f8ebda020e3f8d6d7b8a0
References: bsc#1177028
If an element is freed via RCU then recursion into BPF instrumentation
functions is not a concern. The element is already detached from the map
and the RCU callback does not hold any locks on which a kprobe, perf event
or tracepoint attached BPF program could deadlock.
