Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v2 09/11] selftests/bpf: Cover the user ringbuf callback dynptr lifetime
Date: Fri, 9 Oct 2026 13:27:56 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261009202759.50520-10-ihor.solodrai@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261009202759.50520-1-ihor.solodrai@linux.dev>
The dynptr passed to a bpf_user_ringbuf_drain() callback, and values
derived from it, must not be used after that callback returns.
Exercise escapes through the callback context, slices returned by
bpf_dynptr_data() and bpf_dynptr_slice(), and clones stored in the
caller's frame. Also cover an inner callback's dynptr escaping into an
outer callback.
Require the callback-return diagnostic for escaped pointers and slices.
Check the full bpf_throw() callback rejection so a frame-reference leak
cannot satisfy the test accidentally.
