[RFC bpf-next 2/2] proof for the safe usage of tnum_in()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This commit is not meant to be merged, merely as a display of proof
about the claims in previous commit that tnum_in() can be trusted when
used in the following form:

- tnum_in(tnum_const(), ...)
- tnum_in(tnum_range(0, 2**n - 1), ...)
- tnum_in(tnum_range(2**n, 2**(n+1) - 1), ...)

Note that this only proves that tnum_in() can be trusted when it returns
true, and proof nothing about whether it's trustworthy or not when it
returns false; the latter is still being worked on.
