Subject: [PATCH bpf v2 3/3] bpf, xdp: reject offloaded programs on link update
Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2026 18:41:42 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260424104201.217604-4-jiayuan.chen@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260424104201.217604-1-jiayuan.chen@linux.dev>
Same class of bug as the tcx/netkit fixes: bpf_xdp_link_update() calls
dev_xdp_install() directly and bypasses dev_xdp_attach(), so the offload
check in dev_xdp_attach() is skipped. A user can create an XDP link in
SKB or native mode with a regular program and then replace it via
BPF_LINK_UPDATE with an offloaded program, whose bpf_func is
bpf_prog_warn_on_exec(), tripping the WARN on the first packet.
Mirror the check from dev_xdp_attach(): reject when the link is not in
HW mode and the new program is offloaded.
Fixes: 026a4c28e1db3 ("bpf, xdp: Implement LINK_UPDATE for BPF XDP link")
