[PATCH v3 bpf-next 0/4] Add O_PATH-based BPF_OBJ_PIN and BPF_OBJ_GET support

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

 



Add ability to specify pinning location within BPF FS using O_PATH-based FDs,
similar to openat() family of APIs. Patch #2 adds necessary kernel-side
changes. Patch #3 exposes this through libbpf APIs. Patch #4 uses new mount
APIs (fsopen, fsconfig, fsmount) to demonstrated how now it's possible to work
with detach-mounted BPF FS using new BPF_OBJ_PIN and BPF_OBJ_GET
functionality. We also add few more tests using various combinations of
path_fd and pathname to validate proper argument propagation in kernel code.

This feature is inspired as a result of recent conversations during
LSF/MM/BPF 2023 conference about shortcomings of being able to perform BPF
objects pinning only using lookup-based paths.

v2->v3:
  - __s32 for path_fd in union bpf_attr (Christian);
  - added subtest for absolute/relative paths during pinning/getting;
  - added pre-patch moving LSM hook (security_path_mknod) around (Christian);
v1->v2:
  - add BPF_F_PATH_FD flag that should go along with path FD (Christian).

Andrii Nakryiko (4):
  bpf: validate BPF object in BPF_OBJ_PIN before calling LSM
  bpf: support O_PATH FDs in BPF_OBJ_PIN and BPF_OBJ_GET commands
  libbpf: add opts-based bpf_obj_pin() API and add support for path_fd
  selftests/bpf: add path_fd-based BPF_OBJ_PIN and BPF_OBJ_GET tests
