Hello,
I encountered an NPE and kernel Oops [1] while running the
'test_verifier' selftest on MIPS32 with LTS kernel 5.10.41. This was
observed during development of a MIPS32 JIT but is verifier-related.
Initial troubleshooting [2] points to an unchecked NULL dereference in
btf_type_by_id(), with an unexpected BTF type ID. The root cause is
unclear, whether source of the ID or a potential underlying BTF
problem.
Do you know what is the faulty btf ID number? What is the maximum id
for vmlinux BTF?
The involved helper is bpf_sk_release.
static const struct bpf_func_proto bpf_sk_release_proto = {
.func = bpf_sk_release,
.gpl_only = false,
.ret_type = RET_INTEGER,
.arg1_type = ARG_PTR_TO_BTF_ID_SOCK_COMMON,
};
Eventually, the btf_id is taken from btf_sock_ids[6] where
btf_sock_ids is a kernel global variable.
Could you check btf_sock_ids[6] to see whether the number
makes sense? The id is computed by resolve_btfids in
tools/bpf/resolve_btfids, you might add verbose mode to your linux build
to get more information.
Has this been seen before? How best to debug this further or resolve?
What other details would be useful for BPF kernel developers?
Thanks for any help,
Tony
