Subject: [PATCH bpf v2 1/4] bpf: Reject key-less BTF for hash maps
Date: Sun, 30 Aug 2026 15:30:56 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260830073242.148092-2-jiayuan.chen@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260830073242.148092-1-jiayuan.chen@linux.dev>
map_check_btf() allows a key-less BTF (btf_key_type_id == 0) only for
maps that have a ->map_check_btf callback, and leaves the actual
decision to that callback. Hash maps used to have no ->map_check_btf,
so a key-less BTF was rejected outright.
Since commit 1df97a7453ee ("bpf: Register dtor for freeing special
fields") htab and rhtab got a ->map_check_btf to register a dtor, but
it does not look at the key, so a key-less hash map now passes
map_check_btf() and gets created. Reading it back through bpffs then
feeds the key type_id 0 into btf_type_seq_show(); btf_type_by_id()
returns the void type, kind_ops[BTF_KIND_UNKN] is NULL, and
btf_type_show() dereferences it:
KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000028-0x000000000000002f]
RIP: 0010:btf_type_show (kernel/bpf/btf.c:8251)

</TASK>
Reject a key-less BTF in htab_map_check_btf() and rhtab_map_check_btf(),
restoring the previous behavior.
