Subject: [PATCH bpf 2/2] selftests/bpf: half-dead scalar zero stack spill test
Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2026 15:48:24 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260827-bug-011-cleanfunc-stack-zero-simple-v1-v1-2-c0e996589a52@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260827-bug-011-cleanfunc-stack-zero-simple-v1-v1-1-c0e996589a52@gmail.com>

A test case demonstrating unsafe pruning when spill of a scalar zero
spilled on a first pass in replaced by STACK_ZERO in the
__clean_func_state().
