+Subject: [PATCH] bpf: fix branch offset adjustment on backjumps after patching
+ ctx expansion
+
+When ctx access is used, the kernel often needs to expand/rewrite
+instructions, so after that patching, branch offsets have to be
+adjusted for both forward and backward jumps in the new eBPF program,
+but for backward jumps it fails to account the delta. Meaning, for
+example, if the expansion happens exactly on the insn that sits at
+the jump target, it doesn't fix up the back jump offset.
+
+Analysis on what the check in adjust_branches() is currently doing:
+
+ /* adjust offset of jmps if necessary */
+ if (i < pos && i + insn->off + 1 > pos)
+ insn->off += delta;
+ else if (i > pos && i + insn->off + 1 < pos)
+ insn->off -= delta;
+
+First condition (forward jumps):
+
+ Before: After:
+
+ insns[0] insns[0]
+ insns[1] <--- i/insn insns[1] <--- i/insn
+ insns[2] <--- pos insns[P] <--- pos
+ insns[3] insns[P] `------| delta
+ insns[4] <--- target_X insns[P] `-----|
+ insns[5] insns[3]
+ insns[4] <--- target_X
+ insns[5]
+
+First case is if we cross pos-boundary and the jump instruction was
+before pos. This is handeled correctly. I.e. if i == pos, then this
+would mean our jump that we currently check was the patchlet itself
+that we just injected. Since such patchlets are self-contained and
+have no awareness of any insns before or after the patched one, the
+delta is correctly not adjusted. Also, for the second condition in
+case of i + insn->off + 1 == pos, means we jump to that newly patched
+instruction, so no offset adjustment are needed. That part is correct.
+
+Second condition (backward jumps):
+
+ Before: After:
+
+ insns[0] insns[0]
+ insns[1] <--- target_X insns[1] <--- target_X
+ insns[2] <--- pos <-- target_Y insns[P] <--- pos <-- target_Y
+ insns[3] insns[P] `------| delta
+ insns[4] <--- i/insn insns[P] `-----|
+ insns[5] insns[3]
+ insns[4] <--- i/insn
+ insns[5]
+
+Second interesting case is where we cross pos-boundary and the jump
+instruction was after pos. Backward jump with i == pos would be
+impossible and pose a bug somewhere in the patchlet, so the first
+condition checking i > pos is okay only by itself. However, i +
+insn->off + 1 < pos does not always work as intended to trigger the
+adjustment. It works when jump targets would be far off where the
+delta wouldn't matter. But, for example, where the fixed insn->off
+before pointed to pos (target_Y), it now points to pos + delta, so
+that additional room needs to be taken into account for the check.
+This means that i) both tests here need to be adjusted into pos + delta,
+and ii) for the second condition, the test needs to be <= as pos
+itself can be a target in the backjump, too.
