Subject: [PATCH] security: remove BUG_ON in security_skb_classify_flow
Date: Wed, 8 Apr 2026 19:42:57 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260408114257.298500-1-jiayuan.chen@linux.dev> (raw)
A BPF program attached to the xfrm_decode_session hook can return a
non-zero value, which causes BUG_ON(rc) in security_skb_classify_flow()
to trigger a kernel panic.
Remove the BUG_ON and change the return type from void to int, so that
callers can optionally handle the error.
