It's common for BPF LSM programs to perform the following struct walk current->mm->exe_file and subsequently operate on fields of the backing struct file. At times, some of these operations involve passing a exe_file's field on to BPF helpers and such i.e. bpf_d_path(¤t->mm->exe_file->f_path). However, doing this isn't necessarily always reliable as the backing struct file that exe_file is pointing may be in the midst of being torn down and handing anything contained within this file to BPF helpers and such can lead to memory corruption issues [0]. To alleviate possibly operating on semi-torn down instances of current->mm->exe_file we introduce a set of BPF kfuncs that will allow BPF LSM program to reliably acquire a reference on a current->mm->exe_file. The following new BPF kfuncs have been added: struct file *bpf_get_task_exe_file(struct task_struct *task); struct file *bpf_get_mm_exe_file(struct mm_struct *mm); void bpf_put_file(struct file *f); Internally, these new BPF kfuncs simply call the pre-existing in-kernel functions get_task_exe_file(), get_mm_exe_file(), and fput() accordingly. Note that we explicitly do not rely on the use of very low-level in-kernel functions like get_file_rcu() and get_file_active() to acquire a reference on current->mm->exe_file and such. This is super subtle code and we probably want to avoid exposing any such subtleties to BPF in the form of BPF kfuncs. Additionally, the usage of a double pointer i.e. struct file **, isn't something that the BPF verifier currently recognizes nor has any intention to recognize for the foreseeable future.
