[PATCH bpf-next v2 2/8] bpf: verifier: Support KF_CHANGES_PKT flag

From: Daniel Xu
Date: Mon Feb 27 2023 - 14:52:09 EST


KF_CHANGES_PKT indicates that the kfunc call may change packet data.
This is analogous to bpf_helper_changes_pkt_data().

+2.4.10 KF_CHANGES_PKT flag
+-----------------
+
+The KF_CHANGES_PKT is used for kfuncs that may change packet data.
+After calls to such kfuncs, existing packet pointers will be invalidated
+and must be revalidated before the prog can access packet data.

2.5 Registering the kfuncs
