These macros are a temporary stop-gap until bpf exceptions support unwinding acquired entities. Basically these macros act as if they take a callback which only get executed if the assertion fails.

Kumar,
Is this approach reliable? I suspect the compiler can still optimize it. I feel it will be annoying to clean up if folks start using it now, since there won't be a drop in replacement. Every such bpf_assert_if() would need to be manually patched.
If 2nd part of exception is far, how about we add an equivalent of __bpf_assert() macroses with conditional ops in asm, but with extra 'asm volatile goto' that can be used to construct release of resources.
bpf_do_assert_eq(var1, 0) { bpf_spin_unlock(...); } bpf_do_assert_lt(var2, 0) { bpf_spin_unlock(...); }
