This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled bpf: Acquire map uref in .init_seq_private for array map iterator to the 5.15-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: bpf-acquire-map-uref-in-.init_seq_private-for-array-map-iterator.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From f76fa6b338055054f80c72b29c97fb95c1becadc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hou Tao <houtao1@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 10 Aug 2022 16:05:30 +0800 Subject: bpf: Acquire map uref in .init_seq_private for array map iterator From: Hou Tao <houtao1@xxxxxxxxxx> commit f76fa6b338055054f80c72b29c97fb95c1becadc upstream. bpf_iter_attach_map() acquires a map uref, and the uref may be released before or in the middle of iterating map elements. For example, the uref could be released in bpf_iter_detach_map() as part of bpf_link_release(), or could be released in bpf_map_put_with_uref() as part of bpf_map_release(). Alternative fix is acquiring an extra bpf_link reference just like a pinned map iterator does, but it introduces unnecessary dependency on bpf_link instead of bpf_map. So choose another fix: acquiring an extra map uref in .init_seq_private for array map iterator.
