Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v1 11/22] bpf: Set MEM_RCU when generating kfunc argument types
Date: Sat,  5 Sep 2026 15:01:06 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260905220117.922028-12-ameryhung@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260905220117.922028-1-ameryhung@gmail.com>

The BTF ID argument of a kfunc has to be referenced or trusted
unless the kfunc is KF_RCU, in which case an RCU-protected pointer is
accepted too. check_kfunc_args() reads that off meta->kfunc_flags on
every verification of the call, which is the last thing keeping the
argument policy of ARG_PTR_TO_BTF_ID out of the generated prototype.

Set MEM_RCU in get_kfunc_arg_type() for ARG_PTR_TO_BTF_ID arguments
of KF_RCU kfuncs, the way it already sets OBJ_RELEASE for release
arguments, and test the generated flag instead. Setting it on every
pointer argument would be equivalent here but would leak MEM_RCU into
arguments whose handling compares the whole arg_type, such as the
ARG_PTR_TO_CTX test in check_func_arg_reg_off().

No functional change intended.
