commit 5b029a32cfe4600f5e10e36b41778506b90fd4de upstream.
Commit 457f44363a88 ("bpf: Implement BPF ring buffer and verifier support
for it") extended check_map_func_compatibility() by enforcing map -> helper
function match, but not helper -> map type match.
Due to this all of the bpf_ringbuf_*() helper functions could be used with
a wrong map type such as array or hash map, leading to invalid access due
to type confusion.
Also, both BPF_FUNC_ringbuf_{submit,discard} have ARG_PTR_TO_ALLOC_MEM as
argument and not a BPF map. Therefore, their check_map_func_compatibility()
presence is incorrect since it's only for map type checking.

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 Restructured Text 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.
