Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 0/2] bpf: Fix loop detection for re-arming async callbacks
Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2026 07:01:48 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260923140152.4005097-1-puranjay@kernel.org> (raw)
is_state_visited() skips the infinite loop check when two states differ in
async_entry_cnt, since seeing the same state on a second entry into an
async callback is not a loop. It reads that from the innermost frame, but
push_async_cb() sets in_async_callback_fn and async_entry_cnt on the
callback's own frame, and setup_func_entry() copies neither, so a subprog
called by the callback carries neither.
A callback which re-arms itself and calls a subprog therefore has its two
entries compared at a loop inside that subprog, and is rejected:
infinite loop detected at insn 57
Patch 1 reads both from frame 0, which push_async_cb() makes the callback's
frame at any call depth.
Patch 2 covers both directions: a timer callback which re-arms through
bpf_timer_set_callback() and reaches a bounded loop through a static
subprog, which fails to load without patch 1, and a callback which never
returns, which must still be rejected either way. Nothing covered an async
callback before, so neither direction was tested.
