Me and my colleague Jan-Gerd Tenberge encountered this issue in production on the 5.15, 6.1 and 6.2 kernel versions. We make a small reproducible case that might help find the root cause:
simple_repo.c:
#include <linux/bpf.h>
#include <bpf/bpf_helpers.h>
SEC("socket")
int socket__http_filter(struct __sk_buff* skb) {
volatile __u32 r = bpf_get_prandom_u32();
if (r == 0) {
goto done;
}
#pragma clang loop unroll(full)
for (int i = 0; i < 12000; i++) {
r += 1;
}
#pragma clang loop unroll(full)
for (int i = 0; i < 12000; i++) {
r += 1;
}
done:
return r;
}
Looking at kernel/bpf/core.c it seems that during constant blinding every instruction which has an constant operand gets 2 additional instructions. This increases the amount of instructions between the JMP and target of the JMP cause rewrite of the JMP to fail because the offset becomes bigger than S16_MAX.
Hope this helps,
Bram Schuur and Jan-Gerd Tenberge
