Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v3 14/24] bpf: Reject stack arguments if tail call reachable
Date: Sun, 10 May 2026 22:34:13 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260511053413.1888514-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260511053301.1878610-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev>
Tail calls are deprecated and will be replaced by indirect calls
in the future. Reject programs that combine tail calls with stack
arguments rather than adding complexity for a deprecated feature.
