I like the use-case! ;)

Can you elaborate on the sematics of BPF_SOCKET_OPS_NEEDS_ECN?

It's called from tcp_bpf_ca_needs_ecn(), so if someone sets a cong ctl
from that callback, or any other bpf_socket->op > BPF_SOCKET_OPS_NEEDS_ECN
then we call tcp_reinit_congestion_control()? Why 'bpf_socket->op > ..'?

Could the needs_ecn implementation detail be hidden altogether from the
BPF prog?

 From BPF program side, we call with !load since we're not allowed
to sleep under RCU, that's correct ...

... but don't we also need to hold a module ref in this case as done
below?

Meaning, tcp_ca_find() could return a ca that was previously loaded
to the tcp_cong_list as module, then resulting in ref count imbalance
when set from BPF?

Nit: slipped in?
