[PATCH bpf-next v5 1/3] selftests/bpf: don't modify the skb in the strparser parser prog

From: Sechang Lim

Date: Fri Jun 19 2026 - 22:45:37 EST


sockmap_parse_prog.c is attached as an SK_SKB stream parser and modifies
the skb: it calls bpf_skb_pull_data() and writes a byte into the packet.
A stream parser runs on strparser's message head and must not modify it.
A resize frees the frag_list segments strparser still tracks, leading to
a use-after-free.

Make the parser read-only. It only needs to return the message length,
which keeps it attaching once packet-modifying parsers are rejected.
