Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 1/2] bpf: Look at frame 0 when telling async callback entries apart
Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2026 07:01:49 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260923140152.4005097-2-puranjay@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260923140152.4005097-1-puranjay@kernel.org>
is_state_visited() skips the infinite loop check when two states differ
in async_entry_cnt, because seeing the same state on a second entry into
an async callback is not a loop. It reads that from the innermost frame,
but push_async_cb() sets in_async_callback_fn and async_entry_cnt on the
callback's own frame, and setup_func_entry() copies neither, so a subprog
called by the callback carries neither.
A callback which re-arms itself and calls a subprog therefore compares
the two entries at a loop inside that subprog, where the innermost frame
is the subprog's, and the state is rejected:
infinite loop detected at insn 60
Read the flag and the count from frame 0, which push_async_cb() makes the
callback's frame. A loop within a single entry still has a matching count
and is still caught, and frame 0 of a non-async state does not have the
flag set, so nothing else changes.
Fixes: bfc6bb74e4f1 ("bpf: Implement verifier support for validation of async callbacks.")
