[PATCH v2 bpf-next 07/10] bpf: add support for passing dynptr pointer to global subprog

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Add ability to pass a pointer to dynptr into global functions.
This allows to have global subprogs that accept and work with generic
dynptrs that are created by caller. Dynptr argument is detected based on
the name of a struct type, if it's "bpf_dynptr", it's assumed to be
a proper dynptr pointer. Both actual struct and forward struct
declaration types are supported.

This is conceptually exactly the same semantics as
bpf_user_ringbuf_drain()'s use of dynptr to pass a variable-sized
pointer to ringbuf record. So we heavily rely on CONST_PTR_TO_DYNPTR
bits of already existing logic in the verifier.

During global subprog validation, we mark such CONST_PTR_TO_DYNPTR as
having LOCAL type, as that's the most unassuming type of dynptr and it
doesn't have any special helpers that can try to free or acquire extra
references (unlike skb, xdp, or ringbuf dynptr). So that seems like a safe
"choice" to make from correctness standpoint. It's still possible to
pass any type of dynptr to such subprog, though, because generic dynptr
helpers, like getting data/slice pointers, read/write memory copying
routines, dynptr adjustment and getter routines all work correctly with
any type of dynptr.
