[PATCH bpf-next v1 04/15] bpf: Allow storing referenced PTR_TO_BTF_ID in map

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

 



This commit enables storing referenced PTR_TO_BTF_ID pointers in maps,
with some restrictions to ensure the value of the pointer remains
consistent, as it needs to be eventuall freed using a release function,
either by the BPF program itself in a later invocation, or by the map's
free path.

Such a pointer must be tagged using both 'btf_id' and 'ref' type tags on
the type being pointed to by the pointer, in the map value's BTF. The
verifier will only permit updating such pointers using BPF_XCHG
instruction.

There are valid reasons to enforce this restriction:
- The pointer value must be consistent in face of concurrent
  modification, and any prior values contained in the map must also be
  released before a new one is moved into the map. To ensure proper
  transfer of this ownership, BPF_XCHG returns the old value, which the
  verifier would require the user to either free or move into another
  map, and released the reference held for the pointer being moved in.

  Hence, after a BPF_XCHG on a map value, the user releases the
  reference for the pointer they are moving in, and acquires a reference
  for the old pointer returned by the exchange instruction (in src_reg).

  In case of unreferenced PTR_TO_BTF_ID in maps, losing the old value by
  a store had no adverse effect. The only thing we need to ensure is
  that the actual word sized pointer is written and read concurrently
  using word sized instructions on the actual architecture, even if BPF
  ABI has 64-bit pointers, the underlying pointer value on 32-bit
  systems will be 32-bit, so emitting a load and store as two 32-bit
  sized loads and stores would still be valid, however doing the same on
  a 64-bit system would be wrong, as the pointer value being read can be
  inconsistent.

  This is because while pointer dereference inside a BPF program is
  concerned, the verifier patches loads to PROBE_MEM loads, which
  support exception handling of faulting loads, but PTR_TO_BTF_ID can
  also be passed into BPF helpers and kernel functions, which do not
  have the same liberty.

- This also ensures that BPF programs executing concurrently never end
  up in a state where a certain pointer value was lost due to
  manipulations of the map value, thus leaking the reference that was
  moved in.

  There is always an entity which releases the reference eventually, it
  will either be the map's free path (which will detect and release live
  pointers in the map), or the BPF program itself, which can exchange a
  referenced pointer with NULL and free the old reference.

- In case of multiple such pointers, doing many BPF_XCHG can be a bit
  costly, especially if those pointers are already protected by a BPF
  spin lock against concurrent modification. In the future, this support
  can be extended so that a single spin lock protects multiple such
  pointers and this move operation can be enforced using a helper, while
  also ensuring linearizability of the pointer move operations. This
  will amortize the cost of each individual BPF_XCHG that would be
  needed otherwise using a spin lock. However, this is work that has
  been left as an exercise for a future patch.

  This mechanism would also require the user to indicate to the verifier
  which members of the map value are protected by the BPF spin lock, by
  using annotation in map's BTF.
