Alexei Starovoitov 20c09d92fa 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 <ast@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net> Acked-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: David Vernet <void@manifault.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20230303041446.3630-4-alexei.starovoitov@gmail.com		2023-03-03 17:42:20 +01:00
