Currently, local storage memory can only be allocated atomically (GFP_ATOMIC). This restriction is too strict for sleepable bpf programs. In this patch, the verifier detects whether the program is sleepable, and passes the corresponding GFP_KERNEL or GFP_ATOMIC flag as a 5th argument to bpf_task/sk/inode_storage_get. This flag will propagate down to the local storage functions that allocate memory. Please note that bpf_task/sk/inode_storage_update_elem functions are invoked by userspace applications through syscalls. Preemption is disabled before bpf_task/sk/inode_storage_update_elem is called, which means they will always have to allocate memory atomically.

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.
