We have replaced kvalue-refcnt with synchronize_rcu() to wait for an RCU grace period. Maintenance of kvalue->refcnt was a complicated task, as we had to simultaneously keep track of two reference counts: one for the reference count of bpf_map. When the kvalue->refcnt reaches zero, we also have to reduce the reference count on bpf_map - yet these steps are not performed in an atomic manner and require us to be vigilant when managing them. By eliminating kvalue->refcnt, we can make our maintenance more straightforward as the refcount of bpf_map is now solely managed! To prevent the trampoline image of a struct_ops from being released while it is still in use, we wait for an RCU grace period. The setsockopt(TCP_CONGESTION, "...") command allows you to change your socket's congestion control algorithm and can result in releasing the old struct_ops implementation. It is fine. However, this function is exposed through bpf_setsockopt(), it may be accessed by BPF programs as well. To ensure that the trampoline image belonging to struct_op can be safely called while its method is in use, the trampoline safeguarde the BPF program with rcu_read_lock(). Doing so prevents any destruction of the associated images before returning from a trampoline and requires us to wait for an RCU grace period.

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.
