[PATCH 17/48] objtool: Fix reloc hash collision in find_reloc_by_dest_range()
From: Josh Poimboeuf
Date: Thu Apr 23 2026 - 00:15:36 EST
In find_reloc_by_dest_range(), hash collisions can cause a high-offset
relocation to appear when probing a low-offset hash bucket.
Only return early when the best match found so far genuinely belongs to
the current bucket (its offset is within the bucket's stride range).
Otherwise, continue scanning later buckets which may contain
lower-offset matches.
Fixes: 74b873e49d92 ("objtool: Optimize find_rela_by_dest_range()")
