Equivalent transformation.  For one thing, it's easier to follow that way.
For another, that simplifies the control flow in the vicinity of struct fd
handling in there, which will allow a switch to CLASS(fd) and make the
thing much easier to verify wrt leaks.

This looks unnecessarily intrusive. I think it's best to extract the
logic of fetching and adding bpf_map by fd into a helper and that way
contain fdget + fdput logic nicely. Something like below, which I can
send to bpf-next.

    bpf: factor out fetching bpf_map from FD and adding it to used_maps list

    Factor out the logic to extract bpf_map instances from FD embedded in
    bpf_insns, adding it to the list of used_maps (unless it's already
    there, in which case we just reuse map's index). This simplifies the
    logic in resolve_pseudo_ldimm64(), especially around `struct fd`
    handling, as all that is now neatly contained in the helper and doesn't
    leak into a dozen error handling paths.

Use CLASS(fd, f)(fd) and you can avoid all that fdput() stuff.
That was the point of Al's next patch in the series, so I didn't want
to do it in this one that just refactored the logic of adding maps.
But I can fold that in and send it to bpf-next.
+1.

The bpf changes look ok and Andrii's approach is easier to grasp.
It's better to route bpf conversion to CLASS(fd,..) via bpf-next,
so it goes through bpf CI and our other testing.

bpf patches don't seem to depend on newly added CLASS(fd_pos, ...
and fderr, so pretty much independent from other patches.
Ok, so CLASS(fd, f) won't work just yet because of peculiar
__bpf_map_get() contract: if it gets valid struct fd but it doesn't
contain a valid struct bpf_map, then __bpf_map_get() does fdput()
internally. In all other cases the caller has to do fdput() and
returned struct bpf_map's refcount has to be bumped by the caller
(__bpf_map_get() doesn't do that, I guess that's why it's
double-underscored).

I think the reason it was done was just a convenience to not have to
get/put bpf_map for temporary uses (and instead rely on file's
reference keeping bpf_map alive), plus we have bpf_map_inc() and
bpf_map_inc_uref() variants, so in some cases we need to bump just
refcount, and in some both user and normal refcounts.

So can't use CLASS(fd, ...) without some more clean up.

Alexei, how about changing __bpf_map_get(struct fd f) to
__bpf_map_get_from_fd(int ufd), doing fdget/fdput internally, and
always returning bpf_map with (normal) refcount bumped (if successful,
of course). We can then split bpf_map_inc_with_uref() into just
bpf_map_inc() and bpf_map_inc_uref(), and callers will be able to do
extra uref-only increment, if necessary.

I can do that as a pre-patch, there are about 15 callers, so not too
much work to clean this up. Let me know.
Yeah. Let's kill __bpf_map_get(struct fd ..) altogether.
This logic was added in 2014.
fdget() had to be first and fdput() last to make sure
the map won't disappear while sys_bpf command is running.
All of the places can use bpf_map_get(), bpf_map_put() pair
and rely on map->refcnt, but...

- it's atomic64_inc(&map->refcnt); The cost is probably
in the noise compared to all the work that map sys_bpf commands do.

- It also opens new fuzzing opportunity to do some map operation
in one thread and close(map_fd) in the other, so map->usercnt can
drop to zero and map_release_uref() cleanup can start while
the other thread is still busy doing something like map_update_elem().
It can be mitigated by doing bpf_map_get_with_uref(), but two
atomic64_inc() is kinda too much.

So let's remove __bpf_map_get() and replace all users with bpf_map_get(),
but we may need to revisit that later.
