Technical Overview

Engineering breakdown of Troubleshooting eBPF Kernel Socket Filters (4372). Bare-metal hardware performance requires isolated kernel parameters and precise socket filter attachment. This guide covers the 4372 error code path, verifier rejection scenarios, and runtime attachment failures.

Error 4372 Anatomy

The 4372 error originates from sk_filter_trim_cap when the eBPF program returns an invalid verdict or exceeds the instruction limit. Common triggers include: malformed BPF_LD_ABS instructions, out-of-bounds packet access, and helper call mismatches (e.g., bpf_skb_load_bytes vs bpf_skb_load_bytes_relative).

Verifier Log Analysis

Enable bpftool prog dump xlated and inspect the verifier log for invalid mem access or unreachable insn. Use BPF_LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG to capture the full verification trace.
