Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 2/2] selftests/bpf: Add timer tests for a re-arming callback with a loop
Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2026 07:01:50 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260923140152.4005097-3-puranjay@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260923140152.4005097-1-puranjay@kernel.org>

Existing timer callbacks either do not re-arm through
bpf_timer_set_callback(), which is what starts another async callback
entry, or do not reach a loop once they do. Cover that: loop_cb() re-arms
itself and reaches a bounded loop through sum_to(), which is static and
not inlined, so the loop is walked in a frame below the callback's rather
than in a separately verified global subprog. Without the preceding fix
the program is rejected with "infinite loop detected".

Telling async callback entries apart must not stop the verifier catching
a real loop in a callback, and no existing test covers that either, so
also check that a callback which never returns is still rejected.
