Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 2/2] selftests/bpf: test bpf_path_d_path() on a file released at task exit
Date: Tue, 20 Oct 2026 21:50:14 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261020105014.97985-3-matt@bobrowski.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261020105014.97985-1-matt@bobrowski.net>
Add a fs_kfuncs subtest for the crash fixed by the previous commit. A
child opens a file and exits without closing it, so exit_files() drops
the last reference and the file is released from exit_task_work(),
after exit_fs() has cleared the task's fs. A file_release program calls
bpf_path_d_path() on that release, matched by the file's inode number,
and records what it returned.
Without the fix the subtest crashes the kernel in d_path(). With it,
bpf_path_d_path() returns -EINVAL.
Fixes: d08e2045ebf0 ("bpf: introduce new VFS based BPF kfuncs")
