Added support for pointer to mem register spilling, to allow the verifier to track pointer to valid memory addresses. Such pointers are returned for example by a successful call of the bpf_ringbuf_reserve helper. This patch was suggested as a solution by Yonghong Song. --- kernel/bpf/verifier.c | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) diff --git a/kernel/bpf/verifier.c b/kernel/bpf/verifier.c index 17270b8404f1..36af69fac591 100644 --- a/kernel/bpf/verifier.c +++ b/kernel/bpf/verifier.c @@ -2217,6 +2217,8 @@ static bool is_spillable_regtype(enum bpf_reg_type type) case PTR_TO_RDWR_BUF: case PTR_TO_RDWR_BUF_OR_NULL: case PTR_TO_PERCPU_BTF_ID: + case PTR_TO_MEM: + case PTR_TO_MEM_OR_NULL: return true; default: return false; -- 2.27.0
