Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 0/2] bpf: Reject arena frees below the arena base
Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2026 10:12:18 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1782813442.git.chenyy23@mails.tsinghua.edu.cn> (raw)
bpf_arena_free_pages() can be called with a scalar arena address. The
runtime reconstructs a full user address from the arena base and the low
32 bits before returning the range to the arena free tree. A scalar one
page below the arena base can otherwise produce an out-of-domain free-tree
offset and make a later allocation return an address below the arena
mapping.
Patch 1 rejects frees whose reconstructed full user address is below
user_vm_start. Patch 2 adds verifier_arena coverage for the
scalar-below-base case.
