[PATCH RFC bpf-next v3 06/16] bpf/helpers: introduce bpf_timer_set_sleepable_cb() kfunc

From: Benjamin Tissoires
Date: Wed Feb 21 2024 - 11:27:16 EST


In this patch, bpf_timer_set_sleepable_cb() is functionally equivalent
to bpf_timer_set_callback(), to the exception that it enforces
the timer to be started with BPF_F_TIMER_SLEEPABLE.

But given that bpf_timer_set_callback() is a helper when
bpf_timer_set_sleepable_cb() is a kfunc, we need to teach the verifier
about its attached callback.
Marking that callback as sleepable will be done in a separate patch
