Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 3/3] libbpf: Also reset {insn,data}_cur on realloc failure
Date: Fri, 29 May 2026 11:41:18 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260529094119.307264-3-daniel@iogearbox.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260529094119.307264-1-daniel@iogearbox.net>
realloc_insn_buf() as well as realloc_data_buf() free and NULL
gen->insn_start / gen->data_start on -ENOMEM but leave gen->insn_cur /
gen->data_cur pointing into the old, freed buffer. Just reset the
cursors to NULL alongside the base pointers so the freed state is
coherent.
