Lorenzo noticed that the code testing for program type compatibility of
tail call maps is potentially racy in that two threads could encounter a
map with an unset type simultaneously and both return true even though they
are inserting incompatible programs.
The race window is quite small, but artificially enlarging it by adding a
usleep_range() inside the check in bpf_prog_array_compatible() makes it
trivial to trigger from userspace with a program that does, essentially:
map_fd = bpf_create_map(BPF_MAP_TYPE_PROG_ARRAY, 4, 4, 2, 0);
pid = fork();
if (pid) {
key = 0;
value = xdp_fd;
} else {
key = 1;
value = tc_fd;
}
err = bpf_map_update_elem(map_fd, &key, &value, 0);
While the race window is small, it has potentially serious ramifications in
that triggering it would allow a BPF program to tail call to a program of a
different type. So let's get rid of it by protecting the update with a
spinlock. The commit in the Fixes tag is the last commit that touches the
code in question.
v2:
- Use a spinlock instead of an atomic variable and cmpxchg() (Alexei)
v3:
- Put lock and the members it protects into an embedded 'owner' struct (Daniel)
Fixes: 3324b584b6f6 ("ebpf: misc core cleanup")
