2026-06-05bpf: Replace scratch PTE atomically when allocating arena pagesTejun Heo1-5/+33
apply_range_set_cb() maps the pages for a new arena allocation and returned -EBUSY when the target PTE was already populated. Kernel-fault recovery leaves the per-arena scratch page in unallocated arena PTEs, so a later bpf_arena_alloc_pages() over such a page hits that -EBUSY, and every subsequent allocation of it fails the same way. Allocation must install the real page over scratch instead. Overwriting the scratch PTE in place is a valid->valid change, which arm64 forbids without break-before-make. Route through an invalid entry instead: ptep_try_set() fills only a none slot, so the PTE goes scratch->none->page. On finding scratch, clear it and flush_tlb_before_set() before retrying. The new flush_tlb_before_set() is a no-op except on arches like arm64 that need the break-before-make TLB invalidate. The loop also copes with a concurrent fault re-scratching the slot. Arches without ptep_try_set() never install the scratch page, so keep the must-be-empty check and set_pte_at() for them.

2026-06-05bpf: Reject fragmented frames in devmapZhao Zhang1-0/+7
Devmap broadcast redirects clone the packet for all but the last destination. For native XDP, that clone path copies only the linear xdp_frame data, while fragmented frames keep skb_shared_info in tailroom outside the linear area. Cloning such a frame leaves XDP_FLAGS_HAS_FRAGS set but without valid frag metadata, and the later free path can interpret uninitialized tail data as skb_shared_info, leading to an out-of-bounds access during frame return. Reject fragmented native XDP frames in dev_map_enqueue_clone(). Add the same restriction to the generic XDP clone path in dev_map_redirect_clone(). Generic XDP represents fragmented packets as nonlinear skbs, and rejecting them here keeps clone-based broadcast support aligned between native and generic XDP.

2026-06-05bpf: Optimize word-sized keys for resizable hashtableMykyta Yatsenko1-2/+45
Specialize the lookup/update/delete paths for keys whose size matches sizeof(long) (4 bytes on 32-bit, 8 bytes on 64-bit). A static-const rhashtable_params lets the compiler inline a custom XOR-fold hashfn and a single-word equality cmpfn, eliminating the indirect jhash dispatch. The same hashfn and cmpfn are installed into rhashtable's stored params at rhashtable_init time, so the rehash worker, slow-path inserts, and rhashtable_next_key() all agree with the inlined fast paths. The seq_file BPF iterator uses rhashtable_walk_* and is unaffected.

2026-06-05bpf: Allow special fields in resizable hashtabMykyta Yatsenko2-10/+104
Add support for timers, workqueues, task work, spin locks and kptrs. Without this, users needing deferred callbacks, BPF_F_LOCK, or refcounted kernel pointers in a dynamically-sized map have no option - fixed-size htab is the only map supporting these field types. Resizable hashtab should offer the same capability. kptr semantics under in-place updates are identical to array map. Properly clean up BTF record fields on element delete and map teardown by wiring up bpf_obj_free_fields through a memory allocator destructor, matching the pattern used by htab for non-prealloc maps.

2026-06-05bpf: Implement iteration ops for resizable hashtabMykyta Yatsenko2-2/+348
Implement get_next_key, batch lookup/lookup-and-delete, for_each_map_elem callback, and the seq_file BPF iterator for BPF_MAP_TYPE_RHASH. get_next_key() and batch use rhashtable_next_key() — stateless, matches the syscall UAPI shape (no kernel-side iterator state). get_next_key falls back to the first key when prev_key was concurrently deleted (matches htab semantics). Batch reports cursor loss as -EAGAIN so userspace can distinguish it from end-of-iteration (-ENOENT) and restart from NULL. The seq_file BPF iterator uses rhashtable_walk_* instead. It runs only from read() syscall context, so the walker's spin_lock is safe, and seq_file's per-fd state lets the walker handle rehash correctly (retry on -EAGAIN) for stronger coverage than the stateless API can provide.

Taking mmap_read_lock under arena->lock would AB-BA against arena_vm_close() and arena_map_mmap(), both of which run with mmap_write_lock held and then acquire arena->lock. Instead drop arena->lock, mmget_not_zero() the vma's mm, take mmap_read_lock, and re-resolve the vma via find_vma() since it may have been unmapped or replaced while waiting. Track processed vmls with a per-call generation in vml->zap_gen and serialize zap_pages() callers with a new arena->zap_mutex so concurrent callers on different uaddr ranges do not mark each other's vmls processed before the zap is done.

2026-06-04bpf: clean up btf_scan_decl_tags()Matt Bobrowski1-16/+30
Refactor the newly introduced btf_scan_decl_tags() to improve readability and maintainability. The current implementation uses a manual if-else chain and a magic number offset to strip the "arg:" prefix from declaration tags. Replace the if-else logic with a table-driven approach using a static const array. This separates the tag data from the scanning logic, making the helper more extensible for future tags. Additionally, replace the magic number '4' with a sizeof-based calculation on the prefix string to ensure the offset remains synchronized with the search key. Finally, optimize the loop by moving the is_global check to the top of the block. This allows the verifier to fail-fast on static subprograms without performing unnecessary BTF string and type lookups.

2026-06-02bpf: Reject exclusive maps for bpf_map_elem iteratorsDaniel Borkmann1-0/+4
Exclusive maps (aka excl_prog_hash) are meant to be reachable only from the single program whose hash matches. This is enforced by check_map_prog_compatibility() when the map is referenced from a program such as signed BPF loaders. A bpf_map_elem iterator, however, binds its target map at attach time in bpf_iter_attach_map() instead of referencing it from the program, so the exclusivity check is never reached. On top of that, the iterator exposes the map value as a writable buffer.

2026-06-01bpf: fix UAF by restoring RCU-delayed inode freeing in bpffsDeepanshu Kartikey1-2/+11
commit 4f375ade6aa9 ("bpf: Avoid RCU context warning when unpinning htab with internal structs") moved inode cleanup from ->free_inode() into ->destroy_inode() to avoid sleeping in RCU context when calling bpf_any_put(). However this removed the RCU delay on freeing the inode itself and the cached symlink body (i_link), both of which can be accessed by RCU pathwalk (pick_link, may_lookup etc.). This causes a use-after-free when a concurrent unlinkat() drops the last inode reference and destroy_inode() frees the inode immediately, while another task is still walking the path in RCU mode and reads inode->i_opflags (offset +2) inside current_time() -> is_mgtime().

BPF subprogs currently only return void or scalar values. However, it is also safe to return arena pointers between subprogs in the same BPF program: Arena pointers are guaranteed to be safe for both programs at any point. Expand the verifier to permit returning an arena pointer to the caller. The main subprog is still not allowed to return an arena pointer because arena pointers are internal to the BPF program, and the return values permitted for each main subprog depend on the program type anyway.

The loader verifies map->sha against the metadata hash in its instructions. map->sha is calculated when BPF_OBJ_GET_INFO_BY_FD is called on the frozen map. While the map is frozen, the /signed loader/ must also ensure the map is exclusive, as, without exclusivity (which a hostile host could just omit when loading the loader), another BPF program with map access can mutate the contents afterwards, so the check passes on stale data. With the extra check as part of the signed loader, it now refuses to move on with map->sha validation if the host set it up wrongly.

2026-06-01bpf: Reject exclusive maps as inner maps in map-in-mapDaniel Borkmann1-1/+4
An exclusive map (created with excl_prog_hash) is bound to a single program by hash: check_map_prog_compatibility() refuses to load any program whose digest does not match map->excl_prog_sha. That check only runs for maps a program references directly, i.e. its used_maps. A map reached at runtime through a map-of-maps is never in used_maps, and bpf_map_meta_equal() does not consider excl_prog_sha, so an exclusive map can be inserted into a non-exclusive outer map and then looked up and mutated by an unrelated program, bypassing the exclusivity guarantee. For the signed loader this defeats the metadata map exclusivity check added in the signed loader: the cached map->sha[] is validated against the signed hash while another program on a hostile host rewrites the frozen map's contents through the outer map.

2026-06-01bpf: Fix dynptr ref counting to scan all call framesAmery Hung1-23/+29
When checking whether a referenced dynptr can be overwritten, destroy_if_dynptr_stack_slot only counted sibling dynptrs in the current call frame. If a clone sharing the same virtual ref parent existed in a different frame (e.g., passed to a subprog), it would not be counted, causing the verifier to incorrectly reject the overwrite with "cannot overwrite referenced dynptr".

2026-06-01bpf: Unify release handling for helpers and kfuncsAmery Hung2-95/+103
Introduce release_reg() to consolidate the release logic shared by both helpers and kfuncs: dynptr release, kptr_xchg percpu-to-RCU conversion, regular reference release, and NULL pass-through. NULL pass-through is only allowed if the prototype indicates the argument may be null. Determine release_regno from the function prototype/metadata before argument checking, rather than discovering it dynamically during argument processing. For helpers, scan the arg_type array in check_func_proto() via check_proto_release_reg(). For kfuncs, set release_regno to BPF_REG_1 in bpf_fetch_kfunc_arg_meta() when KF_RELEASE is set. In the future when we start adding decl_tag to kfunc arguments, we can just look at the function prototype instead of a release_regno. Extract ref_convert_alloc_rcu_protected() and invalidate_rcu_protected_refs() to make it more clear what the code is doing. For ref_convert_alloc_rcu_protected(), it pre-converts MEM_ALLOC | MEM_PERCPU registers to MEM_RCU (clearing id so they survive), then calls release_reference() to invalidate the remaining registers and release the reference state. Add KF_RELEASE to bpf_dynptr_file_discard() so its release_regno is set via fetch_kfunc_meta rather than being assigned manually in the dynptr argument processing. Set arg_type to ARG_PTR_TO_DYNPTR for KF_ARG_PTR_TO_DYNPTR so that check_func_arg_reg_off() correctly allows non-zero stack offsets for dynptr release arguments same as helper.

2026-06-01bpf: Unify referenced object tracking in verifierAmery Hung1-60/+62
Helpers and kfuncs independently tracked referenced object metadata using standalone id fields in their respective arg_meta structs. This led to duplicated logic and inconsistent error handling between the two paths. Introduce struct ref_obj_desc to consolidate id and parent_id along with a count of how many arguments carry a reference. Add update_ref_obj() to populate it from a bpf_reg_state, replacing open-coded assignments in check_func_arg(), check_kfunc_args(), and process_iter_arg(). Add validate_ref_obj() to check for ambiguous ref_obj before using it. For ref_obj releasing helpers and kfuncs, keep checking it before calling update_ref_obj() for now. A later patch will make these functions not depending on ref_obj. For other users of ref_obj, move the checks to the use locations. For helper, this means moving the checks inside helper_multiple_ref_obj_use() to use locations. is_acquire_function() is dropped as ref_obj is never used. Pass ref_obj_desc into process_dynptr_func()/mark_stack_slots_dynptr() instead of a bare parent_id to make it less confusing. Drop the selftest introduced in 7ec899ac90a2 ("selftests/bpf: Negative test case for ref_obj_id in args") since the verifier no longer complains about ambiguous ref_obj if it is not used.

2026-06-01bpf: Refactor object relationship tracking and fix dynptr UAF bugAmery Hung5-297/+296
Refactor object relationship tracking in the verifier and fix a dynptr use-after-free bug where file/skb dynptrs are not invalidated when the parent referenced object is freed. Add parent_id to bpf_reg_state to precisely track child-parent relationships. A child object's parent_id points to the parent object's id. This replaces the PTR_TO_MEM-specific dynptr_id. Remove ref_obj_id from bpf_reg_state by folding its role into the existing id field. Previously, id tracked pointer identity for null checking while ref_obj_id tracked the owning reference for lifetime management. These are now unified: acquire helpers and kfuncs set id to the acquired reference id, and release paths use id directly. Add reg_is_referenced() which checks if a register is referenced by looking up its id in the reference array. This replaces all former ref_obj_id checks. For release_reference(), invalidating an object now also invalidates all descendants by traversing the object tree. This is done using stack-based DFS to avoid recursive call chains of release_reference() -> unmark_stack_slots_dynptr() -> release_reference(). Referenced objects encountered during tree traversal are reported as leaked references. Add parent_id to bpf_reference_state to enable hierarchical reference tracking. When acquiring a reference, a parent_id can be specified to link the new reference to an existing one (e.g., referenced dynptrs acquire a reference with parent_id linking to the parent object's reference). Pointer casting: For pointer casting helpers (bpf_sk_fullsock, bpf_tcp_sock), instead of propagating ref_obj_id, the cast result reuses the same reference id as the source pointer. Since the cast may return NULL for a non-NULL input, the NULL case is explored as a separate verifier branch. This allows releasing any of the original or cast pointers to invalidate all others. Referenced dynptrs: When constructing a referenced dynptr, acquire a intermediate reference with parent_id linking to the parent referenced object. The dynptr and all clones share the same parent_id (pointing to the intermediate ref) but get unique ids for independent slice tracking. Releasing a referenced dynptr releases the parent reference, which in turn invalidates all clones and their derived slices. Owning to non-owning reference conversion: After converting owning to non-owning by clearing id (e.g., object(id=1) -> object(id=0)), the verifier releases the reference state via release_reference_nomark(). Note that the error message "reference has not been acquired before" in the helper and kfunc release paths is removed. This message was already unreachable. The verifier only calls release_reference() after confirming the reference is valid, so the condition could never trigger in practice.

Remember the initialized dynptr (i.e.,g !(arg_type |= MEM_UNINIT)) pass to a dynptr kfunc during process_dynptr_func() so that we can easily retrieve the information for verification later. By saving it in meta->dynptr, there is no need to call dynptr helpers such as dynptr_id(), dynptr_ref_obj_id() and dynptr_type() in check_func_arg(). Remove and open code the helpers in process_dynptr_func() when saving id, ref_obj_id, and type. Besides, since dynptr ref_obj_id information is now pass around in meta->bpf_dynptr_desc, drop the check in helper_multiple_ref_obj_use.

In addition, to prepare for unifying dynptr handling, dynptr_get_spi() will be moved out of mark_dynptr_read().

2026-05-31bpf: reject overlarge global subprog argument sizesTaegu Ha1-0/+6
Global subprogram argument checking derives generic pointer sizes from BTF and passes the resolved size to check_mem_reg() as a u32. The access-size validation path then uses a signed int, and stack pointers negate the value before calling check_helper_mem_access(). This creates a wrap when BTF describes a pointee size larger than S32_MAX. For example, a global subprogram argument of type: int (*p)[0x3fffffff] has a BTF-resolved pointee size of 0xfffffffc bytes. At a call site the caller can pass a pointer to a 4-byte stack slot at fp-4. The current PTR_TO_STACK path computes: size = -(int)mem_size so 0xfffffffc becomes -4 as a signed int and the negation validates only a 4-byte stack range. That range is covered by the caller's stack slot, so the call is accepted. The callee is then verified independently with R1 as PTR_TO_MEM and mem_size 0xfffffffc. A small instruction such as: r0 = *(u32 *)(r1 + 4) is accepted as being inside that BTF-described memory region. At run time, however, the actual argument value is still fp-4, so r1 + 4 addresses fp+0, outside the 4-byte object that the caller provided. Reject sizes that cannot be represented by the verifier's signed access-size API before the stack-specific negation. Add a verifier regression test for the oversized BTF argument.

2026-05-31bpf: fix BPF_PROG_QUERY OOB write and cgroup backward compatYuyang Huang2-9/+10
BPF_PROG_QUERY writes back the 'query.revision' field unconditionally to userspace. If userspace passes a smaller 'bpf_attr' structure (e.g. 40 bytes, which was the layout before the addition of 'query.revision'), the kernel performs an out-of-bounds write. Fix this by propagating the user-provided attribute size 'uattr_size' down to the cgroup query handlers, and conditionally skipping writing the revision field to userspace when the provided buffer size is insufficient. query.revision in bpf_mprog_query is structurally identical to the cgroup case: a late tail field, written unconditionally. But the backward-compat hazard is not the same. The min-historical-size test is per command, and bpf_mprog_query only serves attach types that were born with revision in the struct: - tcx_prog_query -> BPF_TCX_INGRESS/EGRESS - netkit_prog_query -> BPF_NETKIT_PRIMARY/PEER tcx, netkit, the revision field, and bpf_mprog_query itself all landed in the same v6.6 merge window (053c8e1f235d added the mprog query API + revision; tcx in e420bed02507, netkit in 35dfaad7188c). There has never been a tcx/netkit BPF_PROG_QUERY userspace that doesn't know about revision. So for these commands the minimum legitimate struct already covers offset 56-64 — no old binary can be broken here. Contrast with cgroup: BPF_PROG_QUERY on cgroup attach types shipped in 2017; revision write-back was bolted on years later (120933984460). That path has a real population of pre-revision callers.

2026-05-28bpf: arena: use page_ref_count() instead of page_mapped() in arena_free_pages()David Hildenbrand (Arm)1-1/+1
Pages that BPF arena code maps are allocated through bpf_map_alloc_pages(), which does not allocate folios but pages. In the future, pages will not have a mapcount, only folios will. Converting the code to use folios and rely on folio_mapped() sounds like the wrong approach. Should BPF arena code allocate folios and use folio_mapped() here? But likely we would not want to use folios here longterm, as we don't really need folio information. Hard to tell. But in the meantime, we can simply use the page refcount instead, as a heuristic whether the page might be mapped to user space and we would want to try zapping it, so we can get rid of page_mapped(). Page allocation will give us a page with a refcount of 1. Any user space mapping adds a page reference. While there can be references from other subsystems (e.g., GUP), in the common case for this test here relying on the page count is good enough.

2026-05-28bpf: Fix race between bpf_map_new_fd() and close_fd()Leon Hwang1-33/+47
Because there is time gap between bpf_map_new_fd() and close_fd(), a concurrent thread is able to close the new fd and opens a new, unrelated file with the exact same fd number. Thereafter, this close_fd() might inadvertently close the unrelated file. To avoid such regression, do finalize log before security_bpf_map_create(). However, in order to achieve it, move bpf_get_file_flag(), security_bpf_map_create(), bpf_map_alloc_id(), and bpf_map_new_fd() from __map_create() to map_create(). And, rename __map_create() to map_create_alloc() meanwhile. Then, in order to reuse the map and token when all checks pass in map_create_alloc(), pass "struct bpf_map **" and "struct bpf_token **" to map_create_alloc().

2026-05-28bpf: Avoid faultable build ID reads under mm locksIhor Solodrai1-0/+109
Sleepable build ID parsing can block in __kernel_read() [1], so the stackmap sleepable path must not call it while holding mmap_lock or a per-VMA read lock. The issue and the fix are conceptually similar to a recent procfs patch [2]. A similar VMA locking pattern has already been used in PROCMAP_QUERY [3]. Resolve each covered VMA with a stable read-side reference, preferring lock_vma_under_rcu() and falling back to mmap_read_trylock() only long enough to acquire the VMA read lock. Take a reference to the backing file, drop the VMA lock, and then parse the build ID through (sleepable) build_id_parse_file(). We have to use mmap_read_trylock() (and give up on failure) in this context because taking mmap_read_lock() is generally unsafe on code paths reachable from BPF programs [4], and may lead to deadlocks.

Tejun Heo says: ==================== This makes BPF arena memory directly dereferenceable from kernel code (struct_ops callbacks, kfuncs).

The kernel translates a kernel cpumask to a cmask, but it had no way to write into the arena, so the cmask lived in kernel memory and was passed as a trusted pointer. BPF cmask helpers all operate on arena cmasks though, so the BPF side had to word-by-word probe-read the kernel cmask into an arena cmask via cmask_copy_from_kernel() before any helper could touch it. It works, but is clumsy. The shape isn't unique to set_cmask. Sub-scheduler support is on the way and more sched_ext callbacks will want to pass structured data to BPF. Anywhere a kfunc or struct_ops callback wants to hand a struct to a BPF program, arena residence is the natural answer. Approach -------- Each arena gets a per-arena scratch page. Arenas stay sparsely mapped as today - PTEs are populated only for allocated pages. A new arch fault hook (bpf_arena_handle_page_fault) is wired into x86 page_fault_oops() and arm64 __do_kernel_fault(), after KFENCE. When a kernel-side access faults inside an arena's kern_vm range, the helper walks the stack to find the BPF program responsible, range-checks the fault address against prog->aux->arena, and atomically installs the scratch page into the empty PTE via the new ptep_try_set() wrapper. The kernel instruction retries and reads/writes the scratch page. Free paths and map destruction treat scratch as non-owned. Real allocation refuses to overwrite scratch (apply_range_set_cb returns -EBUSY). A scratched address stays dead until map destroy, since its presence means the BPF program has already malfunctioned. The mechanism is default behavior - no UAPI flag. What this preserves ------------------- All the debugging properties of today's sparse-PTE design are preserved: * BPF programs still fault on unmapped arena accesses. The fault semantics (instruction retry with rdst = 0) and the violation report through bpf_streams are unchanged for prog-side accesses. * The first kernel-side touch of an unmapped address is reported via bpf_streams the same way as a prog-side fault, with the stack walk attributing it to the originating prog. * User-side fault on a never-scratched address still lazy-allocates a real page (or returns SIGSEGV under BPF_F_SEGV_ON_FAULT). User-side fault on a scratched address SIGSEGVs. What changes for the kernel-side caller is just that an unmapped deref no longer oopses - it retries through the scratch page and emits a violation report. The same shape today's BPF instruction faults have.

Add two helpers for struct_ops subsystems that need to reach into an arena: bpf_arena_map_kern_vm_start(struct bpf_map *map) returns @map's kern_vm_start. A sched_ext follow-up needs this to translate kern_va <-> uaddr. bpf_prog_arena(struct bpf_prog *prog) returns the bpf_map of the arena referenced by @prog (NULL if @prog references no arena). The verifier enforces at most one arena per program. Used by struct_ops callers that auto-discover an arena from a member prog and need to take a map reference.

2026-05-23bpf: Add bpf_struct_ops_for_each_prog()Tejun Heo1-0/+36
Add a helper that walks the member progs of the struct_ops map containing a given @kdata vmtable. struct_ops ->reg() callbacks (and similar) sometimes need to inspect the loaded BPF programs, e.g. to discover maps they reference via prog->aux->used_maps. The implementation mirrors bpf_struct_ops_id(): container_of @kdata to recover the bpf_struct_ops_map, then iterate st_map->links[i]->prog for i in [0, funcs_cnt). Same access pattern, no new locking - by the time ->reg() fires st_map is fully populated and stable. A sched_ext follow-up walks the member progs of a cid-form scheduler's struct_ops map, reads prog->aux->arena directly, and requires all member progs to reference exactly one arena, without requiring the BPF program to call a registration kfunc.

2026-05-23bpf: Add sleepable variant of bpf_arena_alloc_pages for kernel callersTejun Heo1-0/+13
The existing kernel-side export of bpf_arena_alloc_pages is _non_sleepable only - it's used by the verifier to inline the kfunc when the call site is non-sleepable. There is no sleepable equivalent for kernel callers. The kfunc bpf_arena_alloc_pages itself is BPF-only. sched_ext needs sleepable kernel-side allocs for its arena pool init/grow paths. Add bpf_arena_alloc_pages_sleepable() mirroring the _non_sleepable wrapper but passing sleepable=true to arena_alloc_pages().

2026-05-23bpf: Recover arena kernel faults with scratch pageKumar Kartikeya Dwivedi2-40/+142
BPF arena usage is becoming more prevalent, but kernel <-> BPF communication over arena memory is awkward today. Data has to be staged through a trusted kernel pointer with extra code and copying on the BPF side. While reads through arena pointers can use a fault-safe helper, writes don't have a good solution. The in-line alternative would need instruction emulation or asm fixup labels. Enable direct kernel-side reads and writes within GUARD_SZ / 2 of any handed-in arena pointer, without bounds checking. A per-arena scratch page is installed by the arch fault path into empty arena kernel PTEs - x86 from page_fault_oops() for not-present faults, arm64 from __do_kernel_fault() for translation faults, both after the existing exception-table and KFENCE handling. The faulting instruction retries and the access is also reported through the program's BPF stream, preserving error reporting. bpf_prog_find_from_stack() resolves the current BPF program (and its arena) from the kernel stack - no new bpf_run_ctx state is added. Recovery covers the 4 GiB arena plus the upper half-guard (GUARD_SZ / 2). The lower half-guard is excluded because well-behaved kfuncs only access forward from arena pointers. The kfunc-author contract - access at most GUARD_SZ / 2 past a handed-in pointer - is documented in Documentation/bpf/kfuncs.rst. The install is lock-free via ptep_try_set(). On race-loss the winning installer's PTE is already valid, so the access retry succeeds. The arena clear path uses ptep_get_and_clear() so installer and clearer race through atomic accessors. No flush_tlb_kernel_range() afterwards. Stale "not mapped" entries just cause one extra re-fault, cheaper than a global IPI on every install. Scratch exists only to keep the kernel from oopsing on an in-line arena access. Its presence at a PTE means the BPF program has already malfunctioned, and the violation is reported through the program's BPF stream. The only requirement for behavior on a scratched PTE is that the kernel doesn't crash. In particular, any user-side access through such a PTE may segfault. The shared scratch page is freed once during map destruction. BPF instruction faults continue to use the existing JIT exception-table path. This patch changes only the kernel-text fault path. No UAPI flag is added. The new behavior is the default. v2: Use ptep_get_and_clear() in apply_range_clear_cb(). (David) v3: Stub bpf_arena_handle_page_fault() for !CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL.

2026-05-21bpf: add bpf_list_is_first/last/empty kfuncsKaitao Cheng2-2/+53
Add three kfuncs for BPF linked list queries: - bpf_list_is_first(head, node): true if node is the first in the list. - bpf_list_is_last(head, node): true if node is the last in the list. - bpf_list_empty(head): true if the list has no entries. Currently, without these kfuncs, to implement the above functionality it is necessary to first call bpf_list_pop_front/back to retrieve the first or last node before checking whether the passed-in node was the first or last one. After the check, the node had to be pushed back into the list using bpf_list_push_front/back, which was very inefficient. Now, with the bpf_list_is_first/last/empty kfuncs, we can directly check whether a node is the first, last, or whether the list is empty, without having to first retrieve the node.

2026-05-21bpf: Add bpf_list_add to insert node after a given list nodeKaitao Cheng2-3/+20
Add a new kfunc bpf_list_add(head, new, prev, meta, off) that inserts 'new' after 'prev' in the BPF linked list. Both must be in the same list; 'prev' must already be in the list. The new node must be an owning reference (e.g. from bpf_obj_new); the kfunc consumes that reference and the node becomes non-owning once inserted. We have added an additional parameter bpf_list_head *head to bpf_list_add, as the verifier requires the head parameter to check whether the lock is being held. Returns 0 on success, -EINVAL if 'prev' is not in a list or 'new' is already in a list (or duplicate insertion). On failure, the kernel drops the passed-in node.

2026-05-21bpf: allow non-owning list-node args via __nonown_allowedKaitao Cheng1-0/+13
KF_ARG_PTR_TO_LIST_NODE normally requires an owning reference (PTR_TO_BTF_ID | MEM_ALLOC with ref_obj_id). Introduce the __nonown_allowed annotation on selected list-node arguments so non-owning references with ref_obj_id==0 are accepted as well. This patch only adds the generic verifier support and documents the annotation. Later patches in the series will apply it to bpf_list_add /del(), and bpf_list_is_first/last(), allowing bpf_list_front/back() results to be used as the insertion point, deletion target, or query target for those kfuncs. Verifier keeps existing owning-ref checks by default; only arguments annotated with __nonown_allowed bypass MEM_ALLOC/ref_obj_id checks and then follow the same list-node validation path.

2026-05-21bpf: clear list node owner and unlink before dropKaitao Cheng1-8/+19
The issue only becomes exposed once bpf_list_del() is available: callers can pass an arbitrary bpf_list_head and bpf_list_node pair, including nodes that are not actually linked to the supplied head, or nodes that outlive their original head after refcount-based retention. This was not practically reachable for callers restricted to pop-style helpers alone; bpf_list_del() widens the API surface. A failure mode appears when bpf_list_head_free() runs while a program still holds an independent refcount on a node (for example via bpf_refcount_acquire()). The list head value embedded in map memory can go away while the node object survives. If node->owner is left pointing at the old head address until drop completes, that pointer becomes stale. If a new bpf_list_head is later allocated at the same address and the stale node is passed to bpf_list_del(), the owner comparison can succeed even though the node is not really linked to the new head, and list_del_init() will follow bogus next/prev pointers with the risk of memory corruption. When draining a bpf_list_head, mark each node owner with BPF_PTR_POISON under the map spinlock while moving it to a private drain list, then list_del_init() the node and clear owner to NULL before calling __bpf_obj_drop_impl(). Concurrent readers therefore never observe a node that appears linked to a head while its list_head is inconsistent, and surviving refcounted nodes never retain a stale non-NULL owner.

2026-05-17bpf,x86: Fix exception unwinding with outgoing stack argumentsYonghong Song2-1/+2
When a main program with exception_boundary has outgoing stack arguments (e.g. from calling subprogs with >5 args), bpf_throw() fails to correctly restore callee-saved registers, causing a kernel crash. The x86 JIT allocates the outgoing stack arg area below the callee-saved registers via 'sub rsp, outgoing_rsp' in the prologue. When bpf_throw() unwinds, it captures the main program's sp (which includes this outgoing area) and passes it to the exception callback. The callback gets rsp and rbp, followed by pop_callee_regs, but rsp points into the outgoing arg area rather than the callee-saved registers, so the pops restore garbage values. Returning to the kernel with corrupted callee-saved registers causes a crash. Fix this by adjusting the sp (adding stack_arg_sp_adjust) passed to the exception callback, so it points to the bottom of the callee-saved registers instead of the outgoing arg area. When stack_arg_sp_adjust is 0 (the common case), this is a no-op.
