[PATCH bpf v4 0/4] Fixes for bpf link update

From: Pu Lehui

Date: Mon Jul 20 2026 - 09:43:03 EST


This patch series addresses a few concurrency UAF issues within bpf link update.

v4:
- Add new fix for UAF due to missing link type check in mprog. (Sashiko)
- Add new fix for UAF in bpf_netns_link_update_prog. (Sashiko)
- Include the storage and flags rollbacks to patch4 for sake of code rigor,
as it's hard to make update_effective_progs fail in __cgroup_bpf_attach.

v3: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20260720033055.1215477-1-pulehui@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
- Add new fix for UAF issue when reading bpf link info. (Sashiko)
- Add new fix for storage not restored when update_effective_progs
failed. (Sashiko)

v2: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20260717073343.958862-1-pulehui@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
- Fix invalid access for in-place update when storage changed. (Sashiko)

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20260714014659.401063-1-pulehui@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
