Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v2 05/22] bpf: Expand a backward may_goto to gotol when patches push it out of range
Date: Fri, 30 Oct 2026 07:51:50 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261030-bpf-verifier-patch-batch-v2-5-55cd43439f7c@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261030-bpf-verifier-patch-batch-v2-0-55cd43439f7c@gmail.com>

may_goto_expand() turns may_goto into a conditional jump with a 16-bit
offset, or into gotol when the offset of may_goto doesn't fit in 16
bits.

bpf_do_misc_fixups() picks the jump from the offset of may_goto in the
unpatched program. When the patches queued between a backward may_goto
and its target push the offset out of the 16-bit range, the commit
fails with -ERANGE, as bpf_patch_insn_data() did before when applying
those patches.

Add the growth of the patches queued between a backward may_goto and
its target to its offset, and use gotol when the result doesn't fit in
16 bits.
