Hello Joanne Koong,
The patch 66e3a13e7c2c: "bpf: Add bpf_dynptr_slice and
bpf_dynptr_slice_rdwr" from Mar 1, 2023 (linux-next), leads to the
following Smatch static checker warning:
tools/testing/selftests/bpf/progs/test_cls_redirect_dynptr.c:403 forward_with_gre()
error: 'encap_gre' dereferencing possible ERR_PTR()

397 encap_gre = bpf_dynptr_slice_rdwr(dynptr, 0, encap_buffer, sizeof(encap_buffer));
398 if (!encap_gre) {
399 metrics->errors_total_encap_buffer_too_small++;
400 return TC_ACT_SHOT;
401 }

--> 403 encap_gre->ip.protocol = IPPROTO_GRE;
^^^^^^^^^^^
The bpf_dynptr_slice() function accidentally propagates error pointers
from bpf_xdp_pointer() so it would crash here.
Good catch.
Kui-Feng, could you please send a fix?
sure!
Probably the following will be enough:
diff --git a/kernel/bpf/helpers.c b/kernel/bpf/helpers.c

- if (xdp_ptr)

Also I've noticed:
void bpf_xdp_copy_buf(struct xdp_buff *xdp, unsigned long off,
void *buf, unsigned long len, bool flush);
#else /* CONFIG_NET */
static inline void *bpf_xdp_pointer(struct xdp_buff *xdp, u32 offset, u32 len)
{
return NULL;
}
The latter is wrong.
Please send a separate fix.
