BPF struct_ops programs currently cannot be marked as sleepable. This need not be the case -- struct_ops programs can be sleepable, and e.g. invoke kfuncs that export the KF_SLEEPABLE flag. So as to allow future struct_ops programs to invoke such kfuncs, this patch updates the verifier to allow struct_ops programs to be sleepable. A follow-on patch will add support to libbpf for specifying struct_ops.s as a sleepable struct_ops program, and then another patch will add testcases to the dummy_st_ops selftest suite which test sleepable struct_ops behavior.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
