Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v2 08/18] bpf: Express ARG_CONST_SIZE_OR_ZERO as ARG_CONST_SIZE | SCALAR_MAYBE_ZERO
Date: Fri, 24 Jul 2026 12:08:02 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260724190813.1458271-9-ameryhung@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260724190813.1458271-1-ameryhung@gmail.com>
Add SCALAR_MAYBE_ZERO as an alias of PTR_MAYBE_NULL for scalar size
arguments, and define ARG_CONST_SIZE_OR_ZERO as ARG_CONST_SIZE |
SCALAR_MAYBE_ZERO instead of a distinct base type. This lets
check_func_arg() handle both with a single ARG_CONST_SIZE case, and the
redundant compatible_reg_types[] entry is dropped.
