We earlier discussed this barrier. Will following scheme works out to
fix the bpf_eth_cbi_wait() without cbi->use scheme?
#ie. We need to exit from jitted or interpreted code irrespective of its
state. IMO, We can do that by an _arch_ specific function to fill jitted
memory with
"exit" opcode(value:0x95, exit, return r0),so that above code needs to be come
out i n anycase,
on next instruction execution. I know, jitted memory is read-only in your
design, I think, we can change the permission to "write" to the fill
"exit" opcode(both jitted or interpreted case) for termination.
What you think?
