[PATCH bpf-next] bpf: determine buf_info inside check_buffer_access()

From: Shung-Hsi Yu
Date: Mon Mar 07 2022 - 00:29:38 EST


Instead of determining buf_info string in the caller of
check_buffer_access(), we can determine whether the register type is read-only
through type_is_rdonly_mem() helper inside check_buffer_access() and construct
buf_info, making the code slightly cleaner.

Initially I tried to remove the buf_info argument from
__check_buffer_access(), however check_tp_buffer_access() uses "tracepoint"
(rather than the usual "rdonly"/"rdwr") as it's buf_info, thus I decide to
leave __check_buffer_access() as-is, and only change check_buffer_access()
instead.
