Subject: [PATCH v6 4/5] bpf/verifier: allow using bpf_kptr_xchg even if the MEM_RCU flag is set
Date: Sun, 8 Feb 2026 10:48:45 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260208024846.18653-5-pilgrimtao@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260208024846.18653-1-pilgrimtao@gmail.com>
From: Kaitao Cheng <chengkaitao@kylinos.cn>
For the following scenario:
struct tree_node {
struct bpf_refcount ref;
struct bpf_rb_node node;
struct node_data __kptr * node_data;
u64 key;
};
This means node_data would have the type PTR_TO_BTF_ID | MEM_ALLOC |
NON_OWN_REF | MEM_RCU.
When traversing an rbtree using bpf_rbtree_left/right, if we need to
use bpf_kptr_xchg to read the __kptr pointer, we still need to follow
the remove-read-add sequence.
This patch allows us to use bpf_kptr_xchg to directly read the __kptr
pointer without any prior operations.
