Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v4 2/8] bpf: Record raw memory arguments during argument checking
Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2026 07:28:56 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260918052906.12226-3-memxor@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260918052906.12226-1-memxor@gmail.com>
From: Eduard Zingerman <eddyz87@gmail.com>
Record meta->arg_raw_mem.regno in check_func_arg() instead of
check_raw_mode_ok(). This information would be used by the patch
fixing MEM_UNINIT handling for kfuncs further in the series.
For bpf_map_peek_elem() on a bloom filter, resolve_map_arg_type()
does:
case BPF_MAP_TYPE_BLOOM_FILTER:
if (is_helper_call(meta, BPF_FUNC_map_peek_elem))
*arg_type = ARG_PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE;
That replaces the entire type, removing both MEM_UNINIT and MEM_WRITE.
Recording the resolved type makes the later raw-mode clearing
unnecessary.
In the check_mem_size_reg() only clear raw mode for a variable size
when it belongs to the recorded output. An unrelated memory argument
must not discard the output's identity after its initialization size
has been recorded.
