[PATCH bpf-next v1 2/3] bpf, arena: fix range_tree_set inconsistency on kmalloc_nolock failure
From: chenyuan_fl
Date: Wed Aug 05 2026 - 23:05:55 EST
From: Yuan Chen <chenyuan@xxxxxxxxxx>
range_tree_set() clears overlapping ranges before allocating the node
for the new range. If the allocation fails, the function returns
-ENOMEM with the cleared range already removed from the tree, leaving
those arena slots permanently unavailable.
Allocate only when the range has no adjacent free range on either side;
this is known before the clear, since any range covering start - 1 or
last + 1 survives it as an adjacent piece. A failure therefore still
leaves the tree unmodified.
Fixes: b795379757eb ("bpf: Introduce range_tree data structure and use it in bpf arena")
