[ Upstream commit b93c55b4932dd7e32dca8cf34a3443cc87a02906 ]

commit 4f375ade6aa9 ("bpf: Avoid RCU context warning when unpinning
htab with internal structs") moved inode cleanup from ->free_inode()
into ->destroy_inode() to avoid sleeping in RCU context when calling
bpf_any_put(). However this removed the RCU delay on freeing the
inode itself and the cached symlink body (i_link), both of which
can be accessed by RCU pathwalk (pick_link, may_lookup etc.).

This causes a use-after-free when a concurrent unlinkat() drops the
last inode reference and destroy_inode() frees the inode immediately,
while another task is still walking the path in RCU mode and reads
inode->i_opflags (offset +2) inside current_time() -> is_mgtime().

KASAN reports:
  BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in is_mgtime include/linux/fs.h:2313
  Read of size 2 at addr ffff8880407e4282 (offset +2 = i_opflags)

The rules (per Al Viro):
  ->destroy_inode()  called immediately, can sleep, use for blocking
                     cleanup e.g. bpf_any_put()
  ->free_inode()     called after RCU grace period, use for freeing
                     inode and anything RCU-accessible e.g. i_link

Fix: split the two concerns properly:
  - keep bpf_any_put() in bpf_destroy_inode() since it is blocking
    and needs to run promptly
  - introduce bpf_free_inode() to handle kfree(i_link) and
    free_inode_nonrcu() with proper RCU delay, preventing the UAF

[ Upstream commit 4f375ade6aa9f37fd72d7a78682f639772089eed ]

When unpinning a BPF hash table (htab or htab_lru) that contains internal
structures (timer, workqueue, or task_work) in its values, a BUG warning
is triggered:
 BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/bpf/hashtab.c:244
 in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, non_block: 0, pid: 14, name: ksoftirqd/0
 ...

The issue arises from the interaction between BPF object unpinning and
RCU callback mechanisms:
1. BPF object unpinning uses ->free_inode() which schedules cleanup via
   call_rcu(), deferring the actual freeing to an RCU callback that
   executes within the RCU_SOFTIRQ context.
2. During cleanup of hash tables containing internal structures,
   htab_map_free_internal_structs() is invoked, which includes
   cond_resched() or cond_resched_rcu() calls to yield the CPU during
   potentially long operations.

However, cond_resched() or cond_resched_rcu() cannot be safely called from
atomic RCU softirq context, leading to the BUG warning when attempting
to reschedule.

Fix this by changing from ->free_inode() to ->destroy_inode() and rename
bpf_free_inode() to bpf_destroy_inode() for BPF objects (prog, map, link).
This allows direct inode freeing without RCU callback scheduling,
avoiding the invalid context warning.

Which means that generated light skeleton can be used from user space or user mode driver like iterators.c or from the kernel module or the kernel itself.

The CO-RE in the kernel and generated "loader bpf program" used by the light skeleton are capable to perform complex loading operations traditionally provided by libbpf. In addition UMD approach was launching UMD process every time bpffs has to be mounted.

If the environment is not matched, we won't allow to start the ebpf progs. One of the check is whether bpffs is properly mounted.

Currently we modify the tools to adopt to the kernel behaviour change, but I think we'd better change the kernel code to keep the behavior consistent. After this change, the mount information will be displayed the same with the behavior in kernel-4.19, for example: $ mount -t bpf bpffs /sys/fs/bpf $ mount -t bpf bpffs on /sys/fs/bpf type bpf (rw,relatime) Fixes: d2935de7e4fd ("vfs: Convert bpf to use the new mount API") Suggested-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net> Signed-off-by: Yafang Shao <laoar.shao@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net> Acked-by: Christian Brauner <christian.brauner@ubuntu.com> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20220108134623.32467-1-laoar.shao@gmail.com

bpf: Fix regression on BPF_OBJ_GET with non-O_RDWR flags 2021-06-22T12:57:43+00:00 Maciej Żenczykowski maze@google.com 2021-06-18T10:55:26+00:00 5dec6d96d12d33900ec315972c8e47a73bcc378d This reverts commit d37300ed1821 ("bpf: program: Refuse non-O_RDWR flags in BPF_OBJ_GET").

Right now these flags are not checked with progs since they are immutable for their lifetime (as opposed to maps which can be updated from user space).

fs: make helpers idmap mount aware 2021-01-24T13:27:20+00:00 Christian Brauner christian.brauner@ubuntu.com 2021-01-21T13:19:43+00:00 549c7297717c32ee53f156cd949e055e601f67bb Extend some inode methods with an additional user namespace argument. A filesystem that is aware of idmapped mounts will receive the user namespace the mount has been marked with. This can be used for additional permission checking and also to enable filesystems to translate between uids and gids if they need to. We have implemented all relevant helpers in earlier patches. As requested we simply extend the exisiting inode method instead of introducing new ones. This is a little more code churn but it's mostly mechanical and doesnt't leave us with additional inode methods.
