Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v2 1/2] bpf: Look at frame 0 when telling async callback entries apart
Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2026 09:26:06 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260924162609.1746610-2-puranjay@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260924162609.1746610-1-puranjay@kernel.org>

push_async_cb() sets in_async_callback_fn and async_entry_cnt on the
callback's own frame, which is frame 0 of the fresh state it starts, and
setup_func_entry() copies neither, so a subprog called by the callback
carries neither. Two places read them from the innermost frame instead.

is_state_visited() skips the infinite loop check when two states differ
in async_entry_cnt, because seeing the same state on a second entry into
an async callback is not a loop. A callback which re-arms itself and
calls a subprog therefore compares the two entries at a loop inside that
subprog, where the innermost frame is the subprog's and has no flag set,
and the state is rejected:

  infinite loop detected at insn 60

push_callback_call() numbers a new entry as the caller's count plus one.
When the callback re-arms itself from a subprog, the caller is that
subprog's frame with a count of 0, so every entry is numbered 1, the
check above never sees a difference, and a loop anywhere in such a
callback is rejected the same way.

Read the flag and the count from frame 0 in both places. A loop within a
single entry still has a matching count and is still caught, and frame 0
of a non-async state does not have the flag set, so nothing else changes.

The two other readers are already correct: check_return_code() reads
frame[0], and the one in do_check() is reached only after an early return
for curframe != 0.
