Refcounted local kptrs are kptrs to user-defined types with a bpf_refcount field. Recent commits ([0], [1]) modified the lifetime of refcounted local kptrs such that the underlying memory is not reused until RCU grace period has elapsed. Separately, verification of bpf_refcount_acquire calls currently succeeds for MAYBE_NULL non-owning reference input, which is a problem as bpf_refcount_acquire_impl has no handling for this case. This patch takes advantage of aforementioned lifetime changes to tag bpf_refcount_acquire_impl kfunc KF_RCU, thereby preventing MAYBE_NULL input to the kfunc. The KF_RCU flag applies to all kfunc params; it's fine for it to apply to the void *meta__ign param as that's populated by the verifier and is tagged __ign regardless. [0]: commit7e26cd12ad("bpf: Use bpf_mem_free_rcu when bpf_obj_dropping refcounted nodes") is the actual change to allocation behaivor [1]: commit0816b8c6bf("bpf: Consider non-owning refs to refcounted nodes RCU protected") modified verifier understanding of refcounted local kptrs to match [0]'s changes Signed-off-by: Dave Marchevsky <davemarchevsky@fb.com> Fixes:7c50b1cb76("bpf: Add bpf_refcount_acquire kfunc") Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231107085639.3016113-2-davemarchevsky@fb.com Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>
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.
