From f597664454bde5ac45ceaf24da55b590ccfa60e3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eduard Zingerman Date: Mon, 29 Dec 2025 23:13:07 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] bpf: bpf_scc_visit instance and backedges accumulation for bpf_loop() Calls like bpf_loop() or bpf_for_each_map_elem() introduce loops that are not explicitly present in the control-flow graph. The verifier processes such calls by repeatedly interpreting the callback function body within the same verification path (until the current state converges with a previous state). Such loops require a bpf_scc_visit instance in order to allow the accumulation of the state graph backedges. Otherwise, certain checkpoint states created within the bodies of such loops will have incomplete precision marks. See the next patch for an example of a program that leads to the verifier accepting an unsafe program.
