Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 1/2] bpf: Compare iterator types during state pruning
Date: Thu,  6 Aug 2026 17:43:19 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260807004320.134069-2-dingning04@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260807004320.134069-1-dingning04@gmail.com>

An iterator stack slot can be MEM_RCU or PTR_UNTRUSTED. These states
must not be equal, or the verifier can prune an unsafe path.

Compare the pointer type for STACK_ITER slots.

Fixes: dfab99df147b ("bpf: teach the verifier to enforce css_iter and task_iter in RCU CS")
