Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v9 06/23] bpf: Make exception landing pads reachable in the CFG
Date: Thu,  8 Oct 2026 00:50:30 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261008075030.2998230-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261008074959.2993751-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev>

A call that a cleanup record covers can also reach the record's landing
pad. Add that edge to the CFG walk, to bpf_insn_successors(), and to
stack liveness, where a slot is alive across a call when the call's pad
reads it.

The CFG walk pushes the pad in a visit of its own, and the fall-through
on the next visit. bpf_check_cfg() re-visits the top of its stack until
DONE_EXPLORING, so a visit pushing both would leave the pad DISCOVERED
off the current path, and push_insn() would take a branch from one pad
into another -- how a frame with two regions chains them -- for a
back-edge.

Without the liveness change, a slot only the pad reads looked dead, and
clean_verifier_state() poisoned it while the callee ran.
