Subject: [PATCH 1/2] tracing/probes: Fix anon_stack check for unnamed bitfields in btf_find_struct_member
Date: Tue, 1 Sep 2026 00:06:05 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <178818876548.104360.13229872396750615226.stgit@devnote2> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <178818875393.104360.1469039168635349344.stgit@devnote2>
From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>
btf_find_struct_member() traverses into nested anonymous structures
and unions by pushing members with !member->name_off onto anon_stack.
However, it does not consider the unnamed bitfields (e.g. `int : 5`
or `unsigned int : 0`) which also have member->name_off == 0.
If such an unnamed bitfield is pushed to anon_stack, the
btf_find_struct_member() return an error even if there are other
valid entries in anon_stack.
To fix this, only push unnamed struct/union members to anon_stack.
Also move the btf_type_is_struct() check to the entry of this function
because now it is sure only struct/union are pushed to anon_stack.
Fixes: 302db0f5b3d8 ("tracing/probes: Add a function to search a member of a struct/union")
