Subject: [PATCH bpf 06/11] selftests/bpf: Test rejection of pkt args to mutating subprogs
Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2026 05:08:24 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260916050830.8774-7-emil@etsalapatis.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260916050830.8774-1-emil@etsalapatis.com>

Add a selftests that ensures that PTR_TO_PACKET arguments can
only be passed to subprogs that will never adjust the underlying
packet memory, and are rejected otherwise.
