[PATCH bpf-next] bpf: use type_may_be_null() helper for nullable-param check

From: Shung-Hsi Yu
Date: Thu Sep 05 2024 - 01:53:01 EST


Commit 980ca8ceeae6 ("bpf: check bpf_dummy_struct_ops program params for
test runs") does bitwise AND between reg_type and PTR_MAYBE_NULL, which
is correct, but due to type difference the compiler complains:

net/bpf/bpf_dummy_struct_ops.c:118:31: warning: bitwise operation between different enumeration types ('const enum bpf_reg_type' and 'enum bpf_type_flag') [-Wenum-enum-conversion]
118 | if (info && (info->reg_type & PTR_MAYBE_NULL))
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Workaround the warning by moving the type_may_be_null() helper from
verifier.c into bpf_verifier.h, and reuse it here to check whether param
is nullable.

Fixes: 980ca8ceeae6 ("bpf: check bpf_dummy_struct_ops program params for test runs")

Due to kernel test bot not setting the correct email header
(reported[1]) Eduard probably never saw the report about the warning
(nor did it show up on Patchwork).
