Subject: [PATCH bpf v2 1/2] bpf: Disallow tail call to programs that use cgroup storage
Date: Tue, 2 Dec 2025 09:16:14 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251202171615.1027536-1-ameryhung@gmail.com> (raw)
Mitigate a possible NULL pointer dereference in bpf_get_local_storage()
by disallowing tail call to programs that use cgroup storage. Cgroup
storage is allocated lazily when attaching a cgroup bpf program. With
tail call, it is possible for a callee BPF program to see a NULL
storage pointer if the caller prorgam does not use cgroup storage.
