Re: [PATCH bpf-next 1/2] bpf: Preserve stack frame number for commuted arithmetic

Hi Eduard,
Totally agree.
I'll respin v2 to preserve the full pointer state instead of copying only selected fields, and use a temporary scalar offset register for the commuted `scalar += pointer` case as you suggested.
I also re-checked the history before adding the `Fixes:` tag. The tightest candidate I found is:
`Fixes: f1174f77b50c ("bpf/verifier: rework value tracking")`
That commit introduced the unified `scalar += pointer` handling and the pointer-state inheritance path. `f4d7e40a5b15` added the multi-frame stack model later, so it is related but less precise as a `Fixes:` target.
Will send v2 soon.
Thanks!
