SK_SKB BPF programs are run from the socket/tcp context but early in the stack before much of the TCP metadata is needed in tcp_skb_cb. So we can use some unused fields to place BPF metadata needed for SK_SKB programs when implementing the redirect function. This allows us to drop the preempt disable logic. It does however require an API change so sk_redirect_map() has been updated to additionally provide ctx_ptr to skb. Note, we do however continue to disable/enable preemption around actual BPF program running to account for map updates.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
