The test case was minimized from mailing list discussion [0].
It is equivalent to the following C program:
struct iter_limit_bug_ctx { __u64 a; __u64 b; __u64 c; };
static __naked void iter_limit_bug_cb(void)
{
switch (bpf_get_prandom_u32()) {
case 1: ctx->a = 42; break;
case 2: ctx->b = 42; break;
default: ctx->c = 42; break;
}
}
int iter_limit_bug(struct __sk_buff *skb)
{
struct iter_limit_bug_ctx ctx = { 7, 7, 7 };
bpf_loop(2, iter_limit_bug_cb, &ctx, 0);
if (ctx.a == 42 && ctx.b == 42 && ctx.c == 7)
asm volatile("r1 /= 0;":::"r1");
return 0;
}
The main idea is that each loop iteration changes one of the state
variables in a non-deterministic manner. Hence it is premature to
prune the states that have two iterations left comparing them to
states with one iteration left.
E.g. {{7,7,7}, callback_depth=0} can reach state {42,42,7},
while {{7,7,7}, callback_depth=1} can't.

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.
