Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v4 2/4] bpf: Free special fields when update hash maps with BPF_F_LOCK
Date: Thu, 30 Oct 2025 23:24:49 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251030152451.62778-3-leon.hwang@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251030152451.62778-1-leon.hwang@linux.dev>

When updating hash maps with BPF_F_LOCK, the special fields were not
freed after being replaced. This could cause memory referenced by
BPF_KPTR_{REF,PERCPU} fields to be held until the map gets freed.

Fix this by calling 'check_and_free_fields()' after
'copy_map_value_locked()' to properly release the old fields.

Fixes: 14a324f6a67e ("bpf: Wire up freeing of referenced kptr")
