Currently, if a struct_ops map is loaded with BPF_F_LINK, it must also define the .validate() and .update() callbacks in its corresponding struct bpf_struct_ops in the kernel. Enabling struct_ops link is useful in its own right to ensure that the map is unloaded if an application crashes. For example, with sched_ext, we want to automatically unload the host-wide scheduler if the application crashes. We would likely never support updating elements of a sched_ext struct_ops map, so we'd have to implement these callbacks showing that they _can't_ support element updates just to benefit from the basic lifetime management of struct_ops links. Let's enable struct_ops maps to work with BPF_F_LINK even if they haven't defined these callbacks, by assuming that a struct_ops map element cannot be updated by default.

README
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.
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.
