2026-09-24selftests/bpf: Test per-cpu initialization of a BPF_F_CPU created elementDonggeun Yoo1-0/+105
The existing cpu_flag subtests always prime a key with BPF_F_ALL_CPUS before any BPF_F_CPU write, so the create path is never covered. Add a subtest that creates the element with BPF_F_CPU on a map with max_entries 1, so the key can only reuse the element the previous key released, and check that the CPUs the update did not name read back zero. Run it for PERCPU_HASH preallocated and BPF_F_NO_PREALLOC, whose per-cpu areas come from different allocators, and for LRU_PERCPU_HASH. Under BPF_F_NO_PREALLOC the reuse is only guaranteed on the cpu that ran the delete, so pin the thread across the pair, and name a cpu other than that one in map_flags.

2026-09-21selftests/bpf: Reject iterator destruction through fp+0Xu Yunxiang1-0/+22
Add a verifier regression test that initializes a numeric iterator at fp-8 and attempts to destroy it through fp+0. The verifier must reject the non-negative offset instead of treating it as the initialized stack slot. Check the offset diagnostic to ensure rejection happens at the stack object address check. The numeric iterator destroy operation is a no-op; this test checks verifier rejection and does not run the program.

2026-09-19selftests/bpf: Check local object ownership depthKumar Kartikeya Dwivedi1-0/+296
Build raw program BTF records to exercise local object ownership without constructing a runtime chain deep enough to threaten the kernel stack. Cover referenced-kptr and percpu-kptr self-cycles, a two-type cycle, and a cycle mixing a graph root with a referenced kptr. The existing graph-only check accepts these local-kptr cycles and over-limit kptr chains; the fix rejects them with -ELOOP. Pin the eight-record depth boundary with a terminal plain object. Exercise both parent-first and child-first BTF orders, and a shared suffix reached first through a shorter path. These cases require cached suffix depths to be checked against the remaining depth budget on each path. Check list and rbtree chains of three, four, eight, and nine types. This covers the old graph-only depth boundary and the new explicit bound. The existing linked-list BTF tests still reject pure graph cycles and now accept the longer acyclic layouts previously rejected by the conservative rule. Although bpf_percpu_obj_new() currently rejects types with special fields, require the percpu cycle to fail at BTF load so future support cannot bypass the ownership bound. Keep a positive control for a non-owning kptr, which remains outside the ownership graph.

2026-09-19bpf: Bound ownership depth through local kptrs and graph rootsKumar Kartikeya Dwivedi1-2/+2
Program-allocated objects can own other local objects through referenced kptrs. bpf_obj_free_fields() follows those pointers through __bpf_obj_drop_impl() synchronously, before the object storage is freed through RCU. A self-referential local kptr type therefore permits arbitrarily deep object chains, and dropping the head can exhaust the kernel stack. Long acyclic type chains have the same problem. btf_check_and_fixup_fields() still assumes referenced kptrs only point to kernel types and checks ownership through list and rbtree roots only. Its existing rule is sufficient for graph-only cycles: the target of each graph edge must contain a node, so every type in a cycle has both a root and a node. The rule rejects such a type owning another root, breaking every cycle. It also limits graph-only chains to three types, or two if the first type contains a node, and conservatively rejects longer acyclic chains. The missing local-kptr edges, rather than a missed graph-only cycle, are the bug introduced by support for bpf_kptr_xchg() into local kptrs. Replace that restriction with one bounded ownership walk covering graph roots and local referenced kptrs. Run it after all BTF records have been fixed up, reject cycles and paths deeper than eight record-bearing types, and cache each type's suffix depth while checking it against the remaining budget. This also permits the longer acyclic graph-only layouts rejected by the old rule; update their existing BTF tests accordingly. Keep the bound independent of MAX_CALL_FRAMES because recursive destruction can run below a BPF call chain. A plain local pointee without special-field metadata adds only a final non-recursing drop. Non-owning kptrs and kernel-BTF kptrs do not recurse through local records and remain outside the walk. Include local percpu-kptr edges too, although allocation of percpu objects with special fields is currently forbidden, so that relaxing that restriction cannot bypass the ownership bound. btf_check_and_fixup_fields() continues to initialize graph_root.value_rec, including for separately allocated map records. The ownership relationships belong to immutable program BTF and only need validation at BTF load time.

2026-09-19selftests/bpf: Cover frame changes in bounded loopsKumar Kartikeya Dwivedi1-0/+36
Add a finite loop whose progress is represented only by changing the frame number of a stack pointer. The loop first reads zero from the caller's stack, switches to the same offset in the callee's stack, and exits after reading one on its next iteration. Force frequent checkpoints so the test exercises infinite-loop detection, and check that the program returns one when run. Without the frameno comparison in regs_exact(), the program is rejected with an "infinite loop detected" diagnostic instead of loading successfully.

2026-09-17selftests/bpf: Check callback map value lock identityKumar Kartikeya Dwivedi3-3/+68
Add a verifier test which retains a map value from an outer callback and then acquires a lock through an inner callback value before attempting to release the outer callback value. Both values can denote different elements, so the verifier must reject the mismatched unlock. Also exercise callbacks reached through two inner-map lookups. The lookup results share inner_map_meta but may refer to different one-element arrays, so their callback values must retain distinct lock identities. Extend the existing spin_lock failure table and reuse its array and inner-map fixtures to keep these cases alongside the other lock identity tests. Update the nested callback reference-leak expectation for the extra callback value ID.

Add raw CO-RE relocations that fail to resolve their target enum value. Place each supported and unsupported instruction form in dead code. Unsupported targets must fail relocation with a diagnostic even when they are unreachable. Supported ALU immediates, memory accesses, and ldimm64 instructions must still be poisoned and removed as dead code, allowing the program to load. Check that both halves of ldimm64 are poisoned.

2026-09-17selftests/bpf: Test early in-kernel CO-RE relocationKumar Kartikeya Dwivedi1-0/+133
Add a raw program load with CO-RE relocation metadata but no func_info or line_info. Place the relocation in dead code and require the poisoning log, proving that the kernel processes standalone CO-RE metadata instead of silently skipping it. Also give a subprogram a relocatable immediate as its terminal instruction. Require the relocation's poisoning log before check_subprogs() rejects the resulting fall-through. With the old ordering, check_subprogs() rejects the original terminal instruction before CO-RE can emit the substitution log, so the test continues to distinguish the ordering after relocation target validation is tightened. Submit a trailing ldimm64 first slot with CO-RE metadata and require the early structural diagnostic. This exercises the check that protects relocation processing instead of the later regular instruction validation. Load the standalone instruction stream without relocation metadata first to ensure that CO-RE processing causes its poisoning diagnostic. Encode the fixed BTF metadata directly with the selftest BTF helpers.

2026-09-17selftests/bpf: Test packet pointer class displacement pruningKumar Kartikeya Dwivedi1-0/+35
Add two paths whose packet pointer ranges are individually compatible at a join but whose members have different relative displacements. The first path proves an eight-byte access through one member. On the second path, the same guard only proves that the access starts before data_end. An affected verifier prunes the second path and accepts the program. With packet pointer class displacement preserved, it explores that path and rejects the out-of-bounds access. Read the unknown offset and branch selector directly from XDP context fields, and force state checkpoints so the pruning attempt does not depend on the verifier checkpoint heuristics.

Exercise global subprogram verification from workqueue callbacks, which can run in a sleepable context even when the containing program is not sleepable. An unprotected callback must not let the global subprogram use implicit RCU protection inherited from the program. Add a negative case which loads an RCU-protected task kptr in a global subprogram reached from a workqueue callback. It fails on an unfixed kernel because the program is incorrectly accepted. Also cover a workqueue callback protected by an explicit RCU read-side critical section, where the same global subprogram remains valid. Call the same harmless global subprogram directly from the main program and from an unprotected callback. Mark it __weak __noinline so both calls survive optimization, and check that its instruction statistics account for both verification contexts. This also verifies that global calls from callbacks are not rejected wholesale. Workqueue callbacks return zero explicitly after the global call, as required by their contract.

2026-09-13selftests/bpf: cover the exception callback using its own BPF stackDonggeun Yoo2-0/+31
The existing exception tests do not reach a callback that materializes BPF_REG_FP into a register. They either throw from the main program, where BPF_REG_FP already holds the value the callback needs, or use a callback whose only stack accesses are frame pointer relative, which the arm64 JIT rewrites to be stack pointer relative. Add a test that throws from a subprogram using its own BPF stack, with a callback that hands the address of a local variable to bpf_probe_read_kernel(). The helper and the callback have to name the same slot for the value read back to be the one the helper stored.

Add a verifier regression where an imprecise zero scalar reaches a kptr store first and a nonzero scalar reaches the same instruction on a second path. Without the corresponding verifier fix, the second path is pruned and the program is unexpectedly accepted. With the fix, the scalar range is compared and the invalid store is rejected.

2026-09-04selftests/bpf: Test rhtab kptr cancellation semanticsNuoqi Gui2-0/+118
Resizable hash-map updates and deletions must not perform full special-field destruction in their caller context. In particular, a referenced kptr must remain attached to the allocation until the memory allocator destructor can release it safely. Add separate coverage for both affected paths. The update test stores a task kptr, replaces the ordinary value bytes with BPF_EXIST, and verifies that the kptr survived. The delete test removes an element and exchanges its kptr through the still-valid map-value pointer before the allocation is reclaimed. Both cases observe a NULL kptr when rhtab uses bpf_obj_free_fields(). They recover and release the reference after rhtab switches to cancellation semantics.

2026-09-04selftests/bpf: Test timer field on recycled rhtab elementKumar Kartikeya Dwivedi2-0/+239
Exercise the rhtab special-field lifecycle with the sequence from the original report. A bpf_for_each_map_elem() callback deletes the sole element, then initializes and arms a timer through the callback value pointer while it remains valid. Use a one-element map and pin userspace and BPF execution to one CPU. Repeated delete-and-replace cycles drain the per-CPU allocator cache, and periodic RCU synchronization makes the deleted units available for recycling. After each replacement, a second BPF program calls bpf_timer_cancel() on its value. A successful cancellation proves both that a timer-bearing unit was recycled and that insertion preserved the timer field. Without the fix, insertion clears that field and cancellation keeps returning -EINVAL. A long expiration keeps the timer callback out of the test, so the regression is detected without accessing freed memory.

2026-09-04selftests/bpf: Fix flaky bpf_nf test when random NAT port is 0Jiayuan Chen1-4/+4
The bpf_nf test allocs a ct, sets snat and dnat with random addr and port via bpf_ct_set_nat_info(), then looks the ct up and checks the reply tuple against what was set. The port comes from bpf_get_prandom_u32() and can be 0. For bpf_ct_set_nat_info(), port 0 means "port not specified", so only the addr is mapped and the kernel keeps the original port. The check then compares that port with 0 and fails, which shows up as a flaky "Test for source natting" failure in CI [1][2]. Keep the random port in 1..65535 so it is always specified.

Add a sleepable verifier test that loads a refcount-only local kptr in an explicit RCU read-side critical section, ends the section, and passes the pointer to bpf_refcount_acquire(). The loaded pointer never carries NON_OWN_REF. After RCU unlock it retains MEM_ALLOC while becoming PTR_UNTRUSTED, which previously made the kfunc argument check accept it as a live allocated object.

2026-09-04selftests/bpf: Reject graph kptr use after RCU unlockKumar Kartikeya Dwivedi2-3/+78
Add a sleepable verifier test that loads a graph-node local kptr in an explicit RCU read-side critical section, then passes its node to bpf_rbtree_remove() after the section ends. Before the verifier fix, the stale NON_OWN_REF flag makes the node look like a live borrowed reference and the program is accepted. After the fix, the pointer is demoted without NON_OWN_REF and the graph kfunc argument is rejected. Also exercise a graph kptr loaded while a spin lock provides implicit RCU protection. The pointer must be invalidated when the lock is released, which guards the required ordering between non-owning-reference invalidation and RCU demotion. Update the existing fault-protected load test state description. The post-unlock pointer no longer carries NON_OWN_REF, but remains readable because the load is rewritten to use BPF_PROBE_MEM.

Add verifier coverage for the distinction between owning and borrowed arguments to bpf_refcount_acquire(). An owning pointer returned by bpf_obj_new() must continue producing a non-NULL result without an extra check. An RCU-loaded local kptr is only borrowed, so a checked result must load successfully while passing an unchecked result to bpf_obj_drop() must be rejected as possibly NULL. Use a sleepable syscall program for the borrowed cases so the explicit RCU critical section is what permits the local kptr load. Without the verifier fix, the unchecked case is incorrectly accepted. With it, the verifier rejects the possibly NULL argument.
