Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v3 0/2] bpf: Reject MEM_ALLOC BTF accesses past bounds
Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2026 08:41:25 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1782807039.git.chenyy23@mails.tsinghua.edu.cn> (raw)
BTF struct walks can relax the top-level struct-size check for trailing
flexible arrays. That relaxation must not let a PTR_TO_BTF_ID | MEM_ALLOC
access escape the bytes allocated by bpf_obj_new() or bpf_percpu_obj_new().
Patch 1 rejects MEM_ALLOC BTF walks whose access range reaches past the
current struct size before applying the flexible-array relaxation. This now
also applies to struct ID matching used by kfunc and kptr type checks.
Patch 2 adds a linked_list negative loader case for this path.
Changes in v3:
- Pass the flexible-array walk policy through btf_struct_ids_match() callers,
so MEM_ALLOC kfunc/kptr type checks use the same bounds rule.
- Rename the btf_struct_walk() parameter to walk_flex_arrays.
- Rebase onto current bpf-next.
