Subject: [RFC PATCH bpf-next 04/12] bpf: mark struct path trusted
Date: Mon,  5 Oct 2026 20:20:11 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261006002020.2890858-5-utilityemal77@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261006002020.2890858-1-utilityemal77@gmail.com>

Walking a trusted struct path yields a trusted dentry - a live path
never carries a NULL dentry - so BPF programs can use it with kfuncs
that require trusted arguments.

Signed-off-by: Song Liu <song@kernel.org>
[justin: carried only the verifier.c hunk of the original patch,
 trusted instead of trusted-or-null]
