[PATCH bpf-next v2] bpf: Change value of MAX_TAIL_CALL_CNT from 32 to 33

From: Tiezhu Yang
Date: Fri Sep 10 2021 - 21:56:59 EST


In the current code, the actual max tail call count is 33 which is greater
than MAX_TAIL_CALL_CNT (defined as 32), the actual limit is not consistent
with the meaning of MAX_TAIL_CALL_CNT, there is some confusion and need to
spend some time to think about the reason at the first glance.

We can see the historical evolution from commit 04fd61ab36ec ("bpf: allow
bpf programs to tail-call other bpf programs") and commit f9dabe016b63
("bpf: Undo off-by-one in interpreter tail call count limit").

In order to avoid changing existing behavior, the actual limit is 33 now,
this is reasonable.

After commit 874be05f525e ("bpf, tests: Add tail call test suite"), we can
see there exists failed testcase.

On all archs when CONFIG_BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON is not set:
# echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/core/bpf_jit_enable
# modprobe test_bpf
# dmesg | grep -w FAIL
Tail call error path, max count reached jited:0 ret 34 != 33 FAIL

On some archs:
# echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/core/bpf_jit_enable
# modprobe test_bpf
# dmesg | grep -w FAIL
Tail call error path, max count reached jited:1 ret 34 != 33 FAIL

So it is necessary to change the value of MAX_TAIL_CALL_CNT from 32 to 33,
then do some small changes of the related code.

With this patch, it does not change the current limit 33, MAX_TAIL_CALL_CNT
can reflect the actual max tail call count, the tailcall selftests can work
well, and also the above failed testcase in test_bpf can be fixed for the
interpreter (all archs) and the JIT (all archs except for x86).

# uname -m
x86_64
# echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/core/bpf_jit_enable
# modprobe test_bpf
# dmesg | grep -w FAIL
Tail call error path, max count reached jited:1 ret 33 != 34 FAIL

v2:
-- fix the typos in the commit message and update the commit message.
-- fix the failed tailcall selftests for x86 jit.
I am not quite sure the change on x86 is proper, with this change,
tailcall selftests passed, but tailcall limit test in test_bpf.ko
failed, I do not know the reason now, I think this is another issue,
maybe someone more versed in x86 jit could take a look.
