Commit394e40a297("bpf: extend bpf_prog_array to store pointers to the cgroup storage") refactored the bpf_prog_array_copy_core() to accommodate new structure bpf_prog_array_item which contains bpf_prog array itself. In the old code, we had perf_event_query_prog_array(): mutex_lock(...) bpf_prog_array_copy_call(): prog = rcu_dereference_check(array, 1)->progs bpf_prog_array_copy_core(prog, ...) mutex_unlock(...) With the above commit, we had perf_event_query_prog_array(): mutex_lock(...) bpf_prog_array_copy_call(): bpf_prog_array_copy_core(array, ...): item = rcu_dereference(array)->items; ... mutex_unlock(...) The new code will trigger a lockdep rcu checking warning. The fix is to change rcu_dereference() to rcu_dereference_check() to prevent such a warning.

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.
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.
