From 20c09d92faeefb8536f705d3a4629e0dc314c8a1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexei Starovoitov Date: Thu, 2 Mar 2023 20:14:43 -0800 Subject: bpf: Introduce kptr_rcu. The life time of certain kernel structures like 'struct cgroup' is protected by RCU. Hence it's safe to dereference them directly from __kptr tagged pointers in bpf maps. The resulting pointer is MEM_RCU and can be passed to kfuncs that expect KF_RCU. Derefrence of other kptr-s returns PTR_UNTRUSTED. For example: struct map_value { struct cgroup __kptr *cgrp; }; SEC("tp_btf/cgroup_mkdir") int BPF_PROG(test_cgrp_get_ancestors, struct cgroup *cgrp_arg, const char *path) { struct cgroup *cg, *cg2; cg = bpf_cgroup_acquire(cgrp_arg); // cg is PTR_TRUSTED and ref_obj_id > 0 bpf_kptr_xchg(&v->cgrp, cg); cg2 = v->cgrp; // This is new feature introduced by this patch. // cg2 is PTR_MAYBE_NULL | MEM_RCU. // When cg2 != NULL, it's a valid cgroup, but its percpu_ref could be zero if (cg2) bpf_cgroup_ancestor(cg2, level); // safe to do. } Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann Acked-by: Tejun Heo Acked-by: David Vernet Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20230303041446.3630-4-alexei.starovoitov@gmail.com --- include/linux/btf.h | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'include/linux') diff --git a/include/linux/btf.h b/include/linux/btf.h index 49e0fe6d8274..556b3e2e7471 100644 --- a/include/linux/btf.h +++ b/include/linux/btf.h @@ -70,7 +70,7 @@ #define KF_TRUSTED_ARGS (1 << 4) /* kfunc only takes trusted pointer arguments */ #define KF_SLEEPABLE (1 << 5) /* kfunc may sleep */ #define KF_DESTRUCTIVE (1 << 6) /* kfunc performs destructive actions */ -#define KF_RCU (1 << 7) /* kfunc only takes rcu pointer arguments */ +#define KF_RCU (1 << 7) /* kfunc takes either rcu or trusted pointer arguments */ /* * Tag marking a kernel function as a kfunc.
