Subject: [PATCH bpf] bpf: reject ERR_PTR map->record in map_check_btf
Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2026 22:48:08 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260416144808.149543-1-sun.jian.kdev@gmail.com> (raw)

btf_parse_fields() returns an ERR_PTR() when it encounters an invalid
special field in map value BTF.

For example, an invalid kptr-annotated field whose tagged pointee is not
a full struct type can make btf_parse_fields() fail with -EINVAL.

map_check_btf() stores the result in map->record, but currently only
handles the successful non-NULL case explicitly. ERR_PTR() results are
not rejected immediately before proceeding with the rest of map BTF
setup.

Handle IS_ERR(map->record) explicitly in map_check_btf() and return the
underlying error code immediately.

Fixes: aa3496accc412 ("bpf: Refactor kptr_off_tab into btf_record")
