Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v5 6/7] bpf: Mark linux_binprm->mm as trusted-or-null
Date: Mon,  7 Sep 2026 19:52:19 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260907165220.52431-7-tasos.papagiannnis@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260907165220.52431-1-tasos.papagiannnis@gmail.com>

Mark linux_binprm->mm as a trusted-or-null nested pointer so BPF programs
can pass it to kfuncs after a NULL check.

The field is either NULL or points to a live mm_struct whenever BPF can
access a linux_binprm. On successful exec, exec_mmap() installs the new
address space before begin_new_exec() clears bprm->mm. The bprm_mm_init()
error path clears the field before mmdrop(), and free_bprm() clears it
before mmput(), as ensured by an earlier patch in this series.
