[PATCH 3/8] bpf: Add sleepable variant of bpf_arena_alloc_pages for kernel callers

Sun May 17 14:12:27 PDT 2026


The existing kernel-side export of bpf_arena_alloc_pages is _non_sleepable
only - it's used by the verifier to inline the kfunc when the call site is
non-sleepable. There is no sleepable equivalent for kernel callers; the
kfunc bpf_arena_alloc_pages itself is BPF-only.

sched_ext needs sleepable kernel-side allocs for its arena pool init/grow
paths. Add bpf_arena_alloc_pages_sleepable() mirroring the _non_sleepable
wrapper but passing sleepable=true to arena_alloc_pages().
