Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v2 0/2] bpf: Fix x86 JIT stopping before jumps converge
Date: Thu, 22 Oct 2026 05:04:54 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261022-jit_size_fix-v2-0-4bee6921b218@meta.com> (raw)
The x86 JIT stops its sizing passes once two passes give the same image
length. A backward jump can grow while other jumps shrink, so the length
may repeat with jump sizes still changing. The final pass then emits code
of a different size than was sized, hits "bpf_jit: fatal error" and the
program fails to load with -ENOTSUPP.
Patch 1 sizes backward jumps by the insns they jump over, so no insn
grows between passes and a repeated length means nothing moved.
Patch 2 adds a selftest which fails to load without the fix.
This was hit in CI by cgroup_tcp_skb with the unpublished branch
inversion series, whose layout change happened to trigger it.

Changes in v2:
- Size backward jumps by the insns they jump over instead of checking
for moved insns, drop the ja -1 special case and the imm8 limit of 123
(Alexei)
- Start every insn at BPF_MAX_INSN_SIZE, so none grows in the first pass
- Check that the selftest program is JITed
- Link to v1: https://patch.msgid.link/20261021-jit_size_fix-v1-0-b89fd32cafd6@meta.com
