Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v6 13/17] bpf: Reject stack arguments if tail call reachable
Date: Sun, 19 Apr 2026 09:34:22 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260419163422.738397-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260419163316.731019-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev>
Tailcalls have been deprecated. So reject stack arguments
if tail call is in the way.
