That makes field destruction depend\non the context of the update/delete operation. For tracing programs this\ncan include NMI context, where referenced kptr destructors, uptr\nunpinning, and graph root destruction are not generally safe.\n\nIntroduce bpf_obj_cancel_fields() for the reusable-value path. It only\nperforms NMI-safe cleanup for timer, workqueue, and task_work fields.\nFields that need full destruction are left attached to the recycled value\nand are destroyed by the final cleanup path instead.\n\nSwitch array and hashtab update/delete/recycle paths to this cancel\nhelper. Keep bpf_obj_free_fields() for final map destruction and for\nbpf_mem_alloc destructors. Preallocated hashtabs do not have allocator\ndestructors, so teardown continues to walk the normal and extra elements\nand fully destroy their fields.\n\nThis deliberately relaxes the eager-free semantics of map update/delete\nfor special fields. Programs that relied on a recycled map slot becoming\nempty immediately after update/delete were relying on behavior that\ncannot be implemented safely from every BPF execution context without\noffloading arbitrary destructors.\n\nThere is a chance this change breaks programs making assumptions\nregarding the eager freeing of fields. If so, we can relax semantics to\ncancellation only when irqs_disabled() is true in the future. However,\ntheoretically, map values that get reused eagerly already have weaker\nguarantees as parallel users can recreate freed fields before the new\nelement becomes visible again.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-08-15T05:58:12.766+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-16T18:55:32.49+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor
