Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v2 2/9] bpf: Fix tail_call_reachable leak
Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2026 22:41:59 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260422054159.3124694-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260422054149.3124342-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev>

In check_max_stack_depth_subprog(), the local variable
tail_call_reachable is set when entering a callee that has a tail
call, but never reset when popping back to the parent. This causes
the flag to leak across sibling subprogs in the DFS traversal.

This results in unnecessary JIT overhead: the JIT emits tail call
counter preservation code for subprogs that can never be reached
via a tail call path.

Fix this by resetting tail_call_reachable to the parent's actual
per-subprog flag when popping a frame. If the parent was already
marked tail_call_reachable by a previous sibling's traversal, the
local variable stays true. Otherwise it resets to false, so
subsequent siblings start with a clean state.
