Subject: [PATCH bpf 1/2] bpf: Fix divide-by-zero in btf_struct_walk()
Date: Thu, 10 Sep 2026 20:22:55 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260910122316.186384-1-jiayuan.chen@linux.dev> (raw)

When an access goes past the struct and the last member is a flexible
array, btf_struct_walk() folds the offset back into a single element with
(off - moff) % t->size, but never checks that the element type has a size.

BTF takes an empty struct, so this in program BTF

	/* event could be empty */
	struct event {
 #ifdef HAVE_TIMESTAMP
		__u64 ts;
 #endif
	};

	struct batch {
		int nr;
		struct event events[];
	};

divides by zero at prog load time. Getting there needs a PTR_TO_BTF_ID that
is not MEM_ALLOC, e.g. a plain read of a local kptr stashed in a map from a
sleepable program.

Oops: divide error: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN PTI

 </TASK>

Reject a zero-sized element type. The fixed array path in the same function
already bails out on the same thing:

	btf_struct_walk()
	...
		/* skip empty array */
		if (moff == mtrue_end)
			continue;

		msize /= total_nelems;
