From 506ada89629ec7059b96ecfb0dc7d33ece0103ca Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eduard Zingerman Date: Fri, 4 Sep 2026 17:05:56 -0700 Subject: bpf: mark a NULL kfunc argument precise check_kfunc_arg() allows bpf_register_is_null() for nullable arguments w/o marking the underlying scalar register precise. Hence a checkpoint created on such a path would prune against arbitrary scalar value.

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +Block and inode Bitmaps +----------------------- + +The data block bitmap tracks the usage of data blocks within the block +group. + +The inode bitmap records which entries in the inode table are in use. + +As with most bitmaps, one bit represents the usage status of one data +block or inode table entry. This implies a block group size of 8 * +number_of_bytes_in_a_logical_block. + +NOTE: If ``BLOCK_UNINIT`` is set for a given block group, various parts +of the kernel and e2fsprogs code pretends that the block bitmap contains +zeros (i.e. all blocks in the group are free). However, it is not +necessarily the case that no blocks are in use -- if ``meta_bg`` is set, +the bitmaps and group descriptor live inside the group. Unfortunately, +ext2fs_test_block_bitmap2() will return '0' for those locations, +which produces confusing debugfs output. -- cgit v1.3.1
