[PATCH bpf-next 1/3] bpf: verifier: Do not extract constant map keys for irrelevant maps

From: Daniel Xu
Date: Sat Feb 01 2025 - 14:58:50 EST


Previously, we were trying to extract constant map keys for all
bpf_map_lookup_elem(), regardless of map type. This is an issue if the
map has a u64 key and the value is very high, as it can be interpreted
as a negative signed value. This in turn is treated as an error value by
check_func_arg() which causes a valid program to be incorrectly
rejected.

Fix by only extracting constant map keys for relevant maps. See next
commit for an example via selftest.
