Subject: [PATCH bpf 1/2] libbpf: Fix array comparison in BTF dedup
Date: Mon,  7 Sep 2026 13:10:20 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260907131021.34343-2-caomingpei@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260907131021.34343-1-caomingpei@gmail.com>

btf_dedup_identical_types() reads both array descriptors from t1,
skipping comparisons of their referenced types. This can incorrectly
merge distinct structs and corrupt CO-RE relocation metadata.

Read the second descriptor from t2.

Fixes: 62e23f183839 ("libbpf: Improve BTF dedup handling of "identical" BTF types")
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/CABzjXVz3iBuump-pXFkefZ5v+2uu4fG61zqRyWD4xmz3PuBycw@mail.gmail.com/
