[PATCH bpf-next v2] bpf: Log error code on trampoline unlink failure
From: xu.xin16
Date: Sun Jul 26 2026 - 11:07:55 EST
From: xu xin <xu.xin16@xxxxxxxxxx>
Replace silent WARN_ON_ONCE with WARN_ONCE that prints the actual error
code from bpf_trampoline_unlink_prog(). This aids debugging of race
conditions during link teardown, while keeping the warning rate limited
to avoid log flooding.
This will be very helpful for speeding up trouble-shooting of some crash
UAF due to bpf_trampoline_unlink_prog failures.
No functional change intended.

v1->v2:
1) clean the subject name by remove 'syscall' suggested by Leon Hwang
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20a444b2-aeed-4af8-ba76-e994e2c14087@xxxxxxxxx/
2) Add up the missed case in kernel/bpf/trampoline.c:bpf_shim_tramp_link_release()
