After commit 3f50f132d840 ("bpf: Verifier, do explicit ALU32 bounds tracking"), the following bpf prog is rejected:

And the verifier log says:

What can be seen here is that r1->umin grows blindly and becomes bigger than r1->umax. The reason is because the loop does not terminate, when r0 increases to r1->umax_value, the following code in reg_set_min_max() sets r1->umin_value to r1->umax_value + 1 blindly:
case BPF_JGT: { if (is_jmp32) { [...] } else { u64 false_umax = opcode == BPF_JGT ? val : val - 1; u64 true_umin = opcode == BPF_JGT ? val + 1 : val;
false_reg->umax_value = min(false_reg->umax_value, false_umax); true_reg->umin_value = max(true_reg->umin_value, true_umin); } break; }
Why the loop does not terminate is because tnum_is_const(src_reg->var_off) always returns false, causing is_branch_taken() to be skipped:
if (src_reg->type == SCALAR_VALUE && !is_jmp32 && tnum_is_const(src_reg->var_off)) { pred = is_branch_taken(dst_reg, // could not reach here src_reg->var_off.value, opcode, is_jmp32); }
Why tnum_is_const(src_reg->var_off) always returns false is because r1->umin_value starts increasing from 0x7fffffffffffff10, always bigger than U32_MAX, causing the __reg_combine_64_into_32() to mark the lower 32 bits unbounded, i.e. not a constant.
To fix it:
- avoid increasing reg lower bound to a value bigger than the upper bound,
or decreasing reg upper bound to a value smaller than the lower bound. 2. set 32-bit min/max values to the lower 32 bits of the 64-bit min/max values when the 64-bit min/max values are equal.
Should both these be separate patches, meaning are both of them strictly required as one logical entity or not? From your description it's not really clear wrt reg_{inc,dec}_{u32,u64}_{min,max} and if this is mainly defensive or required.
It's defensive, not required. It was added to address "umin > umax" concerns received in v1. Maybe I misunderstood something.
Also, while you describe to some degree how we get here, there is no analysis on why your proposed changes are safe. If you want to make the verifier less conservative to start accepting such progs, can you then elaborate on the latter?
I have some discussion below and hope it makes some sense.

Did you look into debugging reg_bounds_sync()? Assumption for constant register is register_is_const() and it's explicitly looking at var_off.
I checked this function and saw that the low 32 bits and high 32 bits of var_off are updated separately, and the new low/high 32 bits are the intersection of the old low/high 32 bits and the new [u32_min, u32_max] or [umin, umax] range. So as the range [u32_min, u32_max] or [umin, umax] converges, the low/high 32 bits converge as well.
This converge process is reasonable. The lower 32 bits of var_off do not converge to constant is because the range [u32_min, u32_max] does not converge to constant.
IIUC, what _reg_combine_64_into_32 does before calling reg_bounds_sync is find the value range of y when the 64-bit variable x changes from smin to smax for function y = (s32)x, and the value range of y when x changes from umin to umax for function y = (u32)x.
So when the value range of x is a constant, the value range of y is naturally also a constant, that is, it's reasonable to infer u32_min == u32_max from the 64-bit umin == umax.
In fact, the range of y could be found from function graph directly.

All this feels more like a workaround and papering over the issue.
Agree, making umin > umax disappear from error log does not fix the issue, and may make debugging more difficult.
