I took a very brief look at patch 2. One thing that may worth to ask here, the rcu_read_unlock() seems to be done too early. It is protecting the t->sleepable_cb_fn (?), so should it be done after finished using the callback_fn?

A high level design question. The intention of the new bpf_timer_set_sleepable_cb() kfunc is actually to delay work to a workqueue. It is useful to delay work from the bpf_timer_cb and it may also useful to delay work from other bpf running context (e.g. the networking hooks like "tc"). The bpf_timer_set_sleepable_cb() seems to be unnecessary forcing delay-work must be done in a bpf_timer_cb.

Have you thought about if it is possible to create a more generic kfunc like bpf_schedule_work() to delay work to a workqueue ?
