Tejun Heo reported an infinite loop in get_loop_entry(), when verifying a sched_ext program layered_dispatch in [1]. After some investigation I'm sure that root cause is fixed by patches 1,3 in this patch-set. To err on the safe side, this commit modifies get_loop_entry() to detect infinite loops and abort verification in such cases. The number of steps get_loop_entry(S) can make while moving along the bpf_verifier_state->loop_entry chain is bounded by the DFS depth of state S. This fact is exploited to implement the check. To avoid dealing with the potential error code returned from get_loop_entry() in update_loop_entry(), remove the get_loop_entry() calls there: - This change does not affect correctness. Loop entries would still be updated during the backward DFS move in update_branch_counts(). - This change does not affect performance. Measurements show that get_loop_entry() performs at most 1 step on selftests and at most 2 steps on sched_ext programs (1 step in 17 cases, 2 steps in 3 cases, measured using "do-not-submit" patches from [2]).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
