Could this cause an out-of-bounds access if a BPF program passes a negative
value for event? The enum type is signed, so if event is -1, the check
"event >= MEMCG_NR_MEMORY_EVENTS" would evaluate to false (-1 >= 10 is
false), allowing access to memcg->memory_events[-1].
The existing bpf_mem_cgroup_page_state() in the same file uses both lower
and upper bound checks:
if (idx < 0 || idx >= MEMCG_NR_STAT)
return (unsigned long)-1;
Should bpf_mem_cgroup_memory_events() follow the same pattern with:
if (event < 0 || event >= MEMCG_NR_MEMORY_EVENTS)
