Further investigation shows the reason is due to not 8-byte aligned store of percpu pointer in htab_elem_set_ptr(): *(void __percpu **)(l->key + key_size) = pptr; Note that the whole htab_elem alignment is 8 (for x86_64). If the key_size is 4, that means pptr is stored in a location which is 4 byte aligned but not 8 byte aligned. In mm/kmemleak.c, scan_block() scans the memory based on 8 byte stride, so it won't detect above pptr, hence reporting the memory leak. In htab_map_alloc(), we already have htab->elem_size = sizeof(struct htab_elem) + round_up(htab->map.key_size, 8); if (percpu) htab->elem_size += sizeof(void *); else htab->elem_size += round_up(htab->map.value_size, 8); So storing pptr with 8-byte alignment won't cause any problem and can fix kmemleak too. The issue can be reproduced with bpf selftest as well: 1. Enable CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK config 2. Add a getchar() before skel destroy in test_hash_map() in prog_tests/for_each.c. The purpose is to keep map available so kmemleak can be detected. 3. run './test_progs -t for_each/hash_map &' and a kmemleak should be reported. unreferenced object 0x607e08c1fd30 (size 8): comm "test_progs", pid 1969, jiffies 4294706961 hex dump (first 8 bytes on cpu 2): 03 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ........ backtrace (crc 844a0efa): pcpu_alloc_noprof+0xf33/0x14a0 bpf_map_alloc_percpu+0x9c/0x200 prealloc_init+0x1e7/0x730 htab_map_alloc+0x698/0xc70 map_create+0x489/0xcb0 __sys_bpf+0x443/0x560 __x64_sys_bpf+0x7c/0x90 do_syscall_64+0x58/0xf0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76/0x7e cc: Vlad Poenaru <thevlad@xxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Yonghong Song <yonghong.song@xxxxxxxxx> --- kernel/bpf/hashtab.c | 6 +++--- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/kernel/bpf/hashtab.c b/kernel/bpf/hashtab.c index 4a9eeb7aef85..c308300fc72f 100644 --- a/kernel/bpf/hashtab.c +++ b/kernel/bpf/hashtab.c @@ -198,12 +198,12 @@ static bool htab_is_percpu(const struct bpf_htab *htab) static inline void htab_elem_set_ptr(struct htab_elem *l, u32 key_size, void __percpu *pptr) { - *(void __percpu **)(l->key + key_size) = pptr; + *(void __percpu **)(l->key + roundup(key_size, 8)) = pptr; } static inline void __percpu *htab_elem_get_ptr(struct htab_elem *l, u32 key_size) { - return *(void __percpu **)(l->key + key_size); + return *(void __percpu **)(l->key + roundup(key_size, 8)); } static void *fd_htab_map_get_ptr(const struct bpf_map *map, struct htab_elem *l) @@ -2354,7 +2354,7 @@ static int htab_percpu_map_gen_lookup(struct bpf_map *map, struct bpf_insn *insn *insn++ = BPF_EMIT_CALL(__htab_map_lookup_elem); *insn++ = BPF_JMP_IMM(BPF_JEQ, BPF_REG_0, 0, 3); *insn++ = BPF_ALU64_IMM(BPF_ADD, BPF_REG_0, - offsetof(struct htab_elem, key) + map->key_size); + offsetof(struct htab_elem, key) + roundup(map->key_size, 8)); *insn++ = BPF_LDX_MEM(BPF_DW, BPF_REG_0, BPF_REG_0, 0); *insn++ = BPF_MOV64_PERCPU_REG(BPF_REG_0, BPF_REG_0); -- 2.43.5
