Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 4/4] bpf: Account scratch buffer in bpf_prog_calc_tag
Date: Wed,  8 Jul 2026 23:15:37 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260708211537.371874-5-daniel@iogearbox.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260708211537.371874-1-daniel@iogearbox.net>

bpf_prog_calc_tag() copies the instructions into a plain vmalloc() scratch
buffer to blind the map fds before hashing. The buffer scales with the
program, up to ~8MB at the 1M instruction limit, and is allocated on every
program load, but unlike the rest of the load-time scratch memory it is
not charged to the loader's memcg. Use GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT to account it
like the other allocations scoped to the verification/load.
