Subject: [PATCH bpf v1 2/2] selftests/bpf: Cover global subprog exception leaks
Date: Sat, 16 May 2026 04:24:25 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260516022426.2109698-3-memxor@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260516022426.2109698-1-memxor@gmail.com>

Add a verifier failure case where the caller holds a reference across a
global subprog call that may throw. The program must be rejected because
the exceptional path would skip the caller's reference release.
