Date: Mon, 11 Jan 2021 17:31:23 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210111153123.GA423936@ubuntu> (raw)

Added support for pointer to mem register spilling, to allow the verifier
to track pointer to valid memory addresses. Such pointers are returned
for example by a successful call of the bpf_ringbuf_reserve helper.

This patch was suggested as a solution by Yonghong Song.
