From bba1dc0b55ac462d24ed1228ad49800c238cd6d7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexei Starovoitov Date: Mon, 29 Jun 2020 21:33:39 -0700 Subject: bpf: Remove redundant synchronize_rcu. bpf_free_used_maps() or close(map_fd) will trigger map_free callback. bpf_free_used_maps() is called after bpf prog is no longer executing: bpf_prog_put->call_rcu->bpf_prog_free->bpf_free_used_maps. Hence there is no need to call synchronize_rcu() to protect map elements. Note that hash_of_maps and array_of_maps update/delete inner maps via sys_bpf() that calls maybe_wait_bpf_programs() and synchronize_rcu().
