What's the point of check_func_arg_reg_off() if helpers have to check offsets after it's been called? Also, in [0], there's now logic in check_func_arg_reg_off() which checks for OBJ_RELEASE arg types, so there's still a precedent for looking at arg types there. IMO it's actually less confusing to just push as much offset checking as possible into one place.

On the one hand you have check_func_arg_reg_off() which verifies that a register has the correct offset, but then here we have to check for the register offset for PTR_TO_STACK dynptrs specifically? Wouldn't it be better to try and push as much of the offset-checking complexity into one place as possible? > /* MEM_UNINIT and MEM_RDONLY are exclusive, when applied to a > * ARG_PTR_TO_DYNPTR (or ARG_PTR_TO_DYNPTR | DYNPTR_TYPE_*): > * > @@ -6125,11 +6133,6 @@ int check_func_arg_reg_off(struct bpf_verifier_env *env, > switch (type) { > /* Pointer types where both fixed and variable offset is explicitly allowed: */ > case PTR_TO_STACK: > - if (arg_type_is_dynptr(arg_type) && reg->off % BPF_REG_SIZE) { > - verbose(env, "cannot pass in dynptr at an offset\n"); > - return -EINVAL; > - } > - fallthrough; > case PTR_TO_PACKET: > case PTR_TO_PACKET_META: > case PTR_TO_MAP_KEY: > -- > 2.38.1 >
