The current code does type matching for the case where reg->type is PTR_TO_BTF_ID or has the PTR_TRUSTED flag. However, this only needs to occur for non-MEM_ALLOC and non-MEM_PERCPU cases, but will include both as per the current code. The MEM_ALLOC case with or without PTR_TRUSTED needs to be handled specially by the code for type_is_alloc case, while MEM_PERCPU case must be ignored. Hence, to restore correct behavior and for clarity, explicitly list out the handled PTR_TO_BTF_ID types which should be handled for each case using a switch statement. Helpers currently only take: PTR_TO_BTF_ID PTR_TO_BTF_ID | PTR_TRUSTED PTR_TO_BTF_ID | MEM_RCU PTR_TO_BTF_ID | MEM_ALLOC PTR_TO_BTF_ID | MEM_PERCPU PTR_TO_BTF_ID | MEM_PERCPU | PTR_TRUSTED This fix was also described (for the MEM_ALLOC case) in [0].

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.
