In bpf_link_free, bpf trampoline will update the image and remove the unlinked prog. bpf_trampoline_unlink_prog is committed as 'never fail', however it depends on the result of image update. It is possible to fail if memory allocation fail in bpf_trampoline_update. The error result of bpf_trampoline_update can't be passed to bpf_link_free because link release callback returns void. Then it will free the prog whether image updating is successful or not. If the old image tries to call a freed prog, it makes kernel panic. BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffffffc04a8d20 #PF: supervisor instruction fetch in kernel mode #PF: error_code(0x0010) - not-present page RIP: 0010:0xffffffffc04a8d20 Code: Unable to access opcode bytes at RIP 0xffffffffc04a8cf6. ... Call Trace: ? bpf_trampoline_78223_0 bpf_traced_function ... Fix this when bpf_trampoline_update failed in bpf_trampoline_unlink_prog, unregister fentry to disable the trampoline. Then other progs on the trampoline can be unlinked safely and finally the trampoline will be released.
