Subject: [PATCHv2 bpf] libbpf: Prevent double close of btf objects
Date: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 10:24:52 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260415082452.1489147-1-jolsa@kernel.org> (raw)

Sashiko found possible double close of btf object fd [1],
which happens when strdup in load_module_btfs fails at which
point the obj->btf_module_cnt is already incremented.

The error path close btf fd and so does later cleanup code in
bpf_object_post_load_cleanup function.

Incrementing obj->btf_module_cnt only if there's no failure
and releasing btf object in error path.

Fixes: 91abb4a6d79d ("libbpf: Support attachment of BPF tracing programs to kernel modules")
