Subject: [PATCHv3 bpf] libbpf: Prevent double close and leak of btf objects
Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2026 12:00:34 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260416100034.1610852-1-jolsa@kernel.org> (raw)

Sashiko found possible double close of btf object fd [1],
which happens when strdup in load_module_btfs fails at which
point the obj->btf_module_cnt is already incremented.

The error path close btf fd and so does later cleanup code in
bpf_object_post_load_cleanup function.

Also libbpf_ensure_mem failure leaves btf object not assigned
and it's leaked.

Replacing the err_out label with break to make the error path
less confusing as suggested by Alan.

Incrementing obj->btf_module_cnt only if there's no failure
and releasing btf object in error path.

Fixes: 91abb4a6d79d ("libbpf: Support attachment of BPF tracing programs to kernel modules")
