Subject: [PATCH bpf RESEND v2 2/2] bpf: Require ARG_PTR_TO_MEM with memory flag
Date: Sun, 18 Jan 2026 16:16:40 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260118-helper_proto-v2-2-ab3a1337e755@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260118-helper_proto-v2-0-ab3a1337e755@gmail.com>

Add check to ensure that ARG_PTR_TO_MEM is used with either MEM_WRITE or
MEM_RDONLY.

Using ARG_PTR_TO_MEM alone without tags does not make sense because:

- If the helper does not change the argument, missing MEM_RDONLY causes the
verifier to incorrectly reject a read-only buffer.
- If the helper does change the argument, missing MEM_WRITE causes the
verifier to incorrectly assume the memory is unchanged, leading to errors
in code optimization.
