The recent KCTF-reported cgroup local storage issue assigned
CVE-2025-38502 was fixed by commit abad3d0bad72 ("bpf: Fix oob access
in cgroup local storage").

However, the previous fixes are still incomplete. The current prog-array
compatibility check treats a program with no cgroup storage as
compatible with any stored storage cookie. This allows a storage-less
program to bridge a tail-call chain between an entry program and a
storage-using callee even though runtime cgroup local storage still
follows the caller context.

Require exact per-type storage_cookie equality when checking prog-array
compatibility. This blocks zero-storage bridge programs from joining a
prog-array owned by a storage-using program and closes the residual
A -> B(no storage) -> C(storage) path.

This also aligns with Amery Hung's earlier NULL-storage tail-call fix by
requiring storage use to match consistently across prog-array users.

Sorry for jumping in late, but I would have an alternative suggestion below:

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/[email protected]/
v1 -> v2:
  - refine the commit message and mention the relation to Amery Hung's
    NULL-storage tail-call fix
  - add patch 2/2 selftests for tail-call cgroup storage prog-array
    checks
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/[email protected]/T/#t
v2 -> v3:
  - use abad3d0bad72 as the Fixes tag
v3: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/7b3e1adae5c92153e991ac406b2d334609c36d866b5bf81e4465cf63bde0a...@mail.kernel.org/T/#t
v3 -> v4:
  - no changes

This would basically break if the leaf program does not use cgroup storage.. can you please try out the below diff ... rationale: this would allow A -> B(no storage)
but reject the A -> B(no storage) -> C(storage) case:

I just tried. All tests (including patch v4) passed. Your patch indeed
preserves the leaf prog (last one in the chain). Thanks!
