I think this patch is fine with one nit regarding in_sleepable(). Acked-by: Eduard Zingerman <eddyz87@gmail.com>

Sorry, I already raised this before. As far as I understand the 'env->cur_state' check is needed because this function is used from do_misc_fixups():
if (is_storage_get_function(insn->imm)) { if (!in_sleepable(env) || env->insn_aux_data[i + delta].storage_get_func_atomic) insn_buf[0] = BPF_MOV64_IMM(BPF_REG_5, (__force __s32)GFP_ATOMIC); else insn_buf[0] = BPF_MOV64_IMM(BPF_REG_5, (__force __s32)GFP_KERNEL); insn_buf[1] = *insn; cnt = 2; ... }
For a timer callback function 'env->prog->sleepable' would be false. Which means that inside sleepable callback function GFP_ATOMIC would be used in cases where GFP_KERNEL would be sufficient. An alternative would be to check (and set) sleepable flag not for a full program but for a subprogram.
Whether or not this is something worth addressing I don't know.
