[RFC PATCH 6/9] bpf/arena: Add bpf_arena_map_kern_vm_start()
From: Tejun Heo
Date: Mon Apr 27 2026 - 06:55:00 EST
bpf_arena_get_kern_vm_start() takes a struct bpf_arena *. The struct
itself isn't exposed, so callers outside arena.c that hold only a
struct bpf_map * (e.g. struct_ops subsystems handling an arena map fd)
can't reach it.
Add bpf_arena_map_kern_vm_start() which takes struct bpf_map * and
container_of()s to the arena, with a type check. A sched_ext follow-up
needs this to translate kern_va <-> uaddr for arena pages it claims.
