Subject: [PATCH stable linux-5.10.y v1 2/8] bpf: Replace ARG_XXX_OR_NULL with ARG_XXX | PTR_MAYBE_NULL
Date: Tue, 10 Jun 2025 14:43:57 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250610144407.95865-3-puranjay@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250610144407.95865-1-puranjay@kernel.org>
From: Hao Luo <haoluo@google.com>
commit 48946bd6a5d695c50b34546864b79c1f910a33c1 upstream.
We have introduced a new type to make bpf_arg composable, by
reserving high bits of bpf_arg to represent flags of a type.
One of the flags is PTR_MAYBE_NULL which indicates a pointer
may be NULL. When applying this flag to an arg_type, it means
the arg can take NULL pointer. This patch switches the
qualified arg_types to use this flag. The arg_types changed
in this patch include:
1. ARG_PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE_OR_NULL
2. ARG_PTR_TO_MEM_OR_NULL
3. ARG_PTR_TO_CTX_OR_NULL
4. ARG_PTR_TO_SOCKET_OR_NULL
5. ARG_PTR_TO_ALLOC_MEM_OR_NULL
6. ARG_PTR_TO_STACK_OR_NULL
This patch does not eliminate the use of these arg_types, instead
it makes them an alias to the 'ARG_XXX | PTR_MAYBE_NULL'.
