Subject: [PATCH] bpf: Prevent invalid u32 bounds in __reg32_deduce_bounds()
Date: Fri, 20 Feb 2026 20:07:36 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260220190736.230329-1-arighi@nvidia.com> (raw)

When refining register bounds, __reg32_deduce_bounds can derive u32
min/max from 64-bit or s32 bounds and assign them with max_t/min_t.

If the existing u32 range and the derived range do not overlap (e.g.,
u64 says [0, 1] while u32 was [2, 2] from an earlier path), the
intersection is empty and the new u32_min_value can end up greater than
u32_max_value, triggering the following warning:

  verifier bug: REG INVARIANTS VIOLATION (false_reg1): range bounds violation
    u64=[0x0, 0x1] s64=[0x0, 0x1] u32=[0x3, 0x1] s32=[0x0, 0x1] var_off=(0x0, 0x1)
  WARNING: kernel/bpf/verifier.c:2742 at reg_bounds_sanity_check
  Call Trace:
    reg_bounds_sanity_check+0xbc/0x1e0
    reg_set_min_max+0x1a2/0x1f0

    bpf_check+0x33fe/0x3850
    bpf_prog_load+0x7d7/0xee0
    __sys_bpf+0xea2/0x2e30

This was triggered by the scx CI while loading the scx_layered sched_ext
scheduler [1].

Fix by only applying the derived u32 bounds when the resulting range is
valid (u32_min <= u32_max).
