The bpf_ringbuf_submit() and bpf_ringbuf_discard() have ARG_PTR_TO_ALLOC_MEM in their bpf_func_proto definition as their first argument, and thus both expect the result from a prior bpf_ringbuf_reserve() call which has a return type of RET_PTR_TO_ALLOC_MEM_OR_NULL. While the non-NULL memory from bpf_ringbuf_reserve() can be passed to other helpers, the two sinks (bpf_ringbuf_submit(), bpf_ringbuf_discard()) right now only enforce a register type of PTR_TO_MEM. This can lead to potential type confusion since it would allow other PTR_TO_MEM memory to be passed into the two sinks which did not come from bpf_ringbuf_reserve(). Add a new MEM_ALLOC composable type attribute for PTR_TO_MEM, and enforce that: - bpf_ringbuf_reserve() returns NULL or PTR_TO_MEM | MEM_ALLOC - bpf_ringbuf_submit() and bpf_ringbuf_discard() only take PTR_TO_MEM | MEM_ALLOC but not plain PTR_TO_MEM arguments via ARG_PTR_TO_ALLOC_MEM - however, other helpers might ...
