bpf: Limit maximum modifier chain length in btf_check_type_tags
On processing a module BTF of module built for an older kernel, we might sometimes find that some type points to itself forming a loop. If such a type is a modifier, btf_check_type_tags's while loop following modifier chain will be caught in an infinite loop. Fix this by defining a maximum chain length and bailing out if we spin any longer than that. Fixes: eb596b090558 ("bpf: Ensure type tags precede modifiers in BTF") Reported-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net> Signed-off-by: Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi <memxor@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net> Acked-by: Yonghong Song <yhs@fb.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20220615042151.2266537-1-memxor@gmail.com
