This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled bpf: Use correct permission flag for mixed signed bounds arithmetic to the 5.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: bpf-use-correct-permission-flag-for-mixed-signed-bou.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 5b91d80ca04facfe6f7d6172957122af66a1917c Author: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Mar 23 08:32:59 2021 +0100 bpf: Use correct permission flag for mixed signed bounds arithmetic [ Upstream commit 9601148392520e2e134936e76788fc2a6371e7be ] We forbid adding unknown scalars with mixed signed bounds due to the spectre v1 masking mitigation. Hence this also needs bypass_spec_v1 flag instead of allow_ptr_leaks.
