[PATCH 2/2] [net-next] bpf: fix out-of-bounds access warning in bpf_check

From: Arnd Bergmann
Date: Thu Nov 02 2017 - 07:06:35 EST


The bpf_verifer_ops array is generated dynamically and may be
empty depending on configuration, which then causes an out
of bounds access:

kernel/bpf/verifier.c: In function 'bpf_check':
kernel/bpf/verifier.c:4320:29: error: array subscript is above array bounds [-Werror=array-bounds]

This adds a check to the start of the function as a workaround.
I would assume that the function is never called in that configuration,
so the warning is probably harmless.

Fixes: 00176a34d9e2 ("bpf: remove the verifier ops from program structure")

Since there hasn't been a linux-next release in two weeks, I'm not
entirely sure this is still needed, but from looking of the net-next
contents it seems it is. I did not check any other trees that might
have a fix already.
