When I checked the code in skeleton header file generated with my own
bpf prog, I found there may be possible NULL pointer dereference when
destroying skeleton. Then I checked the in-tree bpf progs, finding that is
a common issue. Let's take the generated samples/bpf/xdp_redirect_cpu.skel.h
for example. Below is the generated code in
xdp_redirect_cpu__create_skeleton():
xdp_redirect_cpu__create_skeleton
struct bpf_object_skeleton *s;
s = (struct bpf_object_skeleton *)calloc(1, sizeof(*s));
if (!s)
goto error;
...
error:
bpf_object__destroy_skeleton(s);
return -ENOMEM;
After goto error, the NULL 's' will be deferenced in
bpf_object__destroy_skeleton().
We can simply fix this issue by just adding a NULL check in
bpf_object__destroy_skeleton().
