Subject: [PATCH bpf 2/2] selftests/bpf: Verify no non-zeroed kernel heap memory exposure
Date: Wed, 24 Jun 2026 23:51:15 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260624155115.85196-3-leon.hwang@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260624155115.85196-1-leon.hwang@linux.dev>

When lookup element from those per-CPU maps, which have special field
in their values and their value size is not equal to roundup(value_sz, 8),
the padding size of temporary non-zeroed kernel heap memory allocated by
kvmalloc should not be exposed to user space.

Without the fix:

test_map_uninit_mem_exposure:FAIL:zeroed tail bytes unexpected memory mismatch
actual:
	2B 2B 2B 2B
expected:
	00 00 00 00
