Currently we have two lists of offloaded objects - programs and maps. Netdevice unregister notifier scans those lists to orphan objects associated with device being unregistered. This puts unnecessary (even if negligible) burden on all netdev unregister calls in BPF- -enabled kernel. The lists of objects may potentially get long making the linear scan even more problematic. There haven't been complaints about this mechanisms so far, but it is suboptimal. Instead of relying on notifiers, make the few BPF-capable drivers register explicitly for BPF offloads. The programs and maps will now be collected per-device not on a global list, and only scanned for removal when driver unregisters from BPF offloads.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
