Hi Greg, Eduard,

Thank you.

Eduard has reproduced the issue and is already working on a fix that extends
compute_live_registers() to track upper 32-bit subregister liveness and removes
the dependency on reg->subreg_def.

Once the patch is posted, I can test it against my reproducer in
the s390x QEMU environment, run the relevant BPF selftests, and report the
results. I can also help prepare or test the regression test if that would be
useful.

I can additionally test older kernels to help determine whether the issue is
triggerable before v6.18, as Eduard suggested.

Best regards,
Min-gyu Kim
