Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v1 2/2] bpf: Zero kfunc arg meta before error paths can read it
Date: Wed, 15 Jul 2026 10:21:27 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260715172127.2416388-3-ameryhung@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260715172127.2416388-1-ameryhung@gmail.com>
check_kfunc_call() reads meta.func_name when bpf_fetch_kfunc_arg_meta()
returns -EACCES, but that error can come from fetch_kfunc_meta() (e.g.
fd_array_get_btf() rejecting BTF binding for a signed program) before
meta is memset(), leaving it uninitialized and risking a garbage deref
in verbose().
Move the memset() to the start of bpf_fetch_kfunc_arg_meta() so meta is
zeroed on every error return. The intended "not allowed" -EACCES path
still sets func_name first, so its message is unchanged.
