The struct_ops prog is to allow using bpf to implement the functions in
a struct (eg. kernel module). The current usage is to implement the
tcp_congestion. The kernel does not call the tcp-cc's ops (ie.
the bpf prog) in a recursive way.
The struct_ops is sharing the tracing-trampoline's enter/exit
function which tracks prog->active to avoid recursion. It is
needed for tracing prog. However, it turns out the struct_ops
bpf prog will hit this prog->active and unnecessarily skipped
running the struct_ops prog. eg. The '.ssthresh' may run in_task()
and then interrupted by softirq that runs the same '.ssthresh'.
Skip running the '.ssthresh' will end up returning random value
to the caller.
The patch adds __bpf_prog_{enter,exit}_struct_ops for the
struct_ops trampoline. They do not track the prog->active
to detect recursion.
One exception is when the tcp_congestion's '.init' ops is doing
bpf_setsockopt(TCP_CONGESTION) and then recurs to the same
'.init' ops. This will be addressed in the following patches.

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.
