[PATCH v2 00/15] Make the user mode driver code a better citizen

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

 



This is the second round of my changeset to split the user mode driver
code from the user mode helper code, and to make the code use common
facilities to get things done instead of recreating them just
for the user mode driver code.

I have split the changes into small enough pieces so they should be
easily readable and testable.

The changes lean into the preexisting interfaces in the kernel and
remove special cases for user mode driver code in favor of solutions
that don't need special cases.  This results in smaller code with fewer
bugs.

At a practical level this removes the maintenance burden of the user
mode drivers from the user mode helper code and from exec as the special
cases are removed.

Similarly the LSM interaction bugs are fixed by not having unnecessary
special cases for user mode drivers.

I have tested thes changes by booting with the code compiled in and
by killing "bpfilter_umh" and running iptables -vnL to restart
the userspace driver.

I have compiled tested each change with and without CONFIG_BPFILTER
enabled.

I made a few very small changes from v1 to v2:
- Updated the function name in a comment when the function is renamed
- Moved some more code so that the the !CONFIG_BPFILTER case continues
  to compile when I moved the code into umd.c
- A fix for the module loading case to really flush the file descriptor.
- Removed split_argv entirely from fork_usermode_driver.
  There was nothing to split so it was just confusing.

Please let me know if you see any bugs.  Once the code review is
finished I plan to place the code in a non-rebasing branch
so I can pull it into my tree and so it can also be pulled into
the bpf-next tree.
