[PATCH bpf-next 1/2] bpf: Relax allowlist for css_task iter

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

 



The newly added open-coded css_task iter would try to hold the global
css_set_lock in bpf_iter_css_task_new, so the bpf side has to be careful in
where it allows to use this iter. The mainly concern is dead locking on
css_set_lock. check_css_task_iter_allowlist() in verifier enforced css_task
can only be used in bpf_lsm hooks and sleepable bpf_iter.

This patch relax the allowlist for css_task iter. Any lsm and any iter
(even non-sleepable) and any sleepable are safe since they would not hold
the css_set_lock before entering BPF progs context.

This patch also fixes the misused BPF_TRACE_ITER in
check_css_task_iter_allowlist which compared bpf_prog_type with
bpf_attach_type.

Fixes: 9c66dc94b62ae ("bpf: Introduce css_task open-coded iterator kfuncs")
