In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

bpf: mark bpf_dummy_struct_ops.test_1 parameter as nullable

Test case dummy_st_ops/dummy_init_ret_value passes NULL as the first
parameter of the test_1() function. Mark this parameter as nullable to
make verifier aware of such possibility.
Otherwise, NULL check in the test_1() code:

      SEC("struct_ops/test_1")
      int BPF_PROG(test_1, struct bpf_dummy_ops_state *state)
      {
            if (!state)
                    return ...;

            ... access state ...
      }

Might be removed by verifier, thus triggering NULL pointer dereference
under certain conditions.
