[PATCH bpf-next 0/2] bpf: Fix WARNING in bpf_tracing_link_release
From: Leon Hwang
Date: Tue Jul 21 2026 - 09:32:03 EST
The trampoline could be corrupted by the blindly
'tr->flags = BPF_TRAMP_F_TAIL_CALL_CTX' in verifier.
1. A fexit attached to a tail_call_reachable prog.
2. Another fexit loaded with the same tail_call_reachable prog target.
3. Close the first fexit link.
[ 3.410719] WARNING: kernel/bpf/syscall.c:3551 at bpf_tracing_link_release+0x53/0x60, CPU#1: test_progs/98
...
[ 3.428793] bpf_link_free+0x58/0x130
[ 3.429293] bpf_link_release+0x23/0x30
Fix the warning by updating 'tr->flags' with '|=' and lock.
