[RFC nf-next v5 1/2] netfilter: bpf: support prog update

From: D. Wythe
Date: Tue Jan 02 2024 - 01:12:24 EST


From: "D. Wythe" <alibuda@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

To support the prog update, we need to ensure that the prog seen
within the hook is always valid. Considering that hooks are always
protected by rcu_read_lock(), which provide us the ability to
access the prog under rcu.
