Subject: [PATCH bpf v2 8/8] selftests/bpf: Reject refcount acquisition after RCU unlock
Date: Fri,  4 Sep 2026 10:43:21 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260904084325.52250-9-memxor@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260904084325.52250-1-memxor@gmail.com>

From: Ning Ding <dingning04@gmail.com>

Add a sleepable verifier test that loads a refcount-only local kptr in an
explicit RCU read-side critical section, ends the section, and passes the
pointer to bpf_refcount_acquire().

The loaded pointer never carries NON_OWN_REF. After RCU unlock it retains
MEM_ALLOC while becoming PTR_UNTRUSTED, which previously made the kfunc
argument check accept it as a live allocated object. Expect verification to
reject the untrusted argument instead.
