[PATCH v2 bpf-next 3/4] bpf: remove obsolete KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE restriction on array map value size

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

 



Syscall-side map_lookup_elem() and map_update_elem() used to use
kmalloc() to allocate temporary buffers of value_size, so
KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE limit on value_size made sense to prevent creation of
array map that won't be accessible through syscall interface.

But this limitation since has been lifted by relying on kvmalloc() in
syscall handling code. So remove KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE, which among other
things means that it's possible to have BPF global variable sections
(.bss, .data, .rodata) bigger than 8MB now. Keep the sanity check to
prevent trivial overflows like round_up(map->value_size, 8) and restrict
value size to <= INT_MAX (2GB).
