Subject: [PATCH bpf 1/2] bpf, tcx: reject offloaded programs on attach
Date: Thu, 23 Apr 2026 11:36:05 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260423033609.252464-2-jiayuan.chen@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260423033609.252464-1-jiayuan.chen@linux.dev>
An offloaded prog's bpf_func is replaced by bpf_prog_warn_on_exec(),
since it's supposed to run on the NIC, not the host. But tcx doesn't
check this and happily attaches it to the software path, so the first
packet hits the WARN.
XDP already guards this in dev_xdp_attach(); tcx just never got the
same check. Add it to both tcx_prog_attach() and tcx_link_attach().
Use bpf_prog_is_offloaded() instead of bpf_prog_is_dev_bound() so that
dev-bound-only programs (still JITed for host) keep working.
Fixes: e420bed025071 ("bpf: Add fd-based tcx multi-prog infra with link support")
