The bpf_get_kmem_cache() is to get a slab cache information from a virtual address like virt_to_cache(). If the address is a pointer to a slab object, it'd return a valid kmem_cache pointer, otherwise NULL is returned. It doesn't grab a reference count of the kmem_cache so the caller is responsible to manage the access. The returned point is marked as PTR_UNTRUSTED. The intended use case for now is to symbolize locks in slab objects from the lock contention tracepoints.

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 reStructuredText 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.
