Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 09/18] bpf: Reject stack arguments if tail call reachable
Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2026 10:15:19 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260424171519.2042600-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260424171433.2034470-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev>
Tailcalls have been deprecated. So reject stack arguments
if tail call is in the way.
