Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v8 4/8] bpf: refactor __bpf_list_add to take insertion point via **prev_ptr
Date: Mon, 16 Mar 2026 19:28:39 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260316112843.78657-5-pilgrimtao@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260316112843.78657-1-pilgrimtao@gmail.com>
From: Kaitao Cheng <chengkaitao@kylinos.cn>
Refactor __bpf_list_add to accept (new, head, struct list_head **prev_ptr,
..) instead of (node, head, bool tail, ..). Load prev from *prev_ptr after
INIT_LIST_HEAD(h), so we never dereference an uninitialized h->prev when
head was 0-initialized (e.g. push_back passes &h->prev).
When prev is not the list head, validate that prev is in the list via
its owner.
Prepares for bpf_list_add_impl(head, new, prev, ..) to insert after a
given list node.
