From 6668ed271eaefaa63e686bdfbedaeb7b8e492722 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi Date: Fri, 4 Sep 2026 10:43:19 +0200 Subject: selftests/bpf: Reject graph kptr use after RCU unlock Add a sleepable verifier test that loads a graph-node local kptr in an explicit RCU read-side critical section, then passes its node to bpf_rbtree_remove() after the section ends. Before the verifier fix, the stale NON_OWN_REF flag makes the node look like a live borrowed reference and the program is accepted. After the fix, the pointer is demoted without NON_OWN_REF and the graph kfunc argument is rejected. Also exercise a graph kptr loaded while a spin lock provides implicit RCU protection. The pointer must be invalidated when the lock is released, which guards the required ordering between non-owning-reference invalidation and RCU demotion. Update the existing fault-protected load test state description. The post-unlock pointer no longer carries NON_OWN_REF, but remains readable because the load is rewritten to use BPF_PROBE_MEM.
