Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v1 0/2] Fix global subprog verification context
Date: Sat,  5 Sep 2026 05:40:14 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260905034018.2095649-1-memxor@gmail.com> (raw)

Global subprogs can be invoked in both sleepable and non-sleepable
contexts, but are verified based on context assumptions for the program
type as a whole and not the precise context in which they are invoked.
Nicholas identified that this can cause verifier's safety assumptions to
be violated. Implement a fix by performing verification twice but only
if different contexts are exercised, and add selftests to ensure coverage.

Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi (2):
  bpf: Verify global subprogs in each sleepability context
  selftests/bpf: Test global subprog callback contexts
