From: Yonghong Song <yhs@xxxxxx> [ Upstream commit cf28f3bbfca097d956f9021cb710dfad56adcc62 ] With latest `bpftool prog` command, we observed the following kernel panic. BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000 #PF: supervisor instruction fetch in kernel mode #PF: error_code(0x0010) - not-present page PGD dfe894067 P4D dfe894067 PUD deb663067 PMD 0 Oops: 0010 [#1] SMP CPU: 9 PID: 6023 ...

The latest `bpftool prog` calls a task_file bpf program to traverse all files in the system in order to associate processes with progs/maps, etc. When traversing files for a given task, rcu read_lock is taken to access all files in a file_struct. But it used get_file() to grab a file, which is not right. It is possible file->f_count is 0 and get_file() will unconditionally increase it. Later put_file() may cause all kind of issues with the above as one of sympotoms. The failure can be reproduced with the following steps in a few seconds: $ cat t.c #include <stdio.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <unistd.h> #define N 10000 int fd[N]; int main() { int i; for (i = 0; i < N; i++) { fd[i] = open("./note.txt", 'r'); if (fd[i] < 0) { fprintf(stderr, "failed\n"); return -1; } } for (i = 0; i < N; i++) close(fd[i]); return 0; } $ gcc -O2 t.c $ cat run.sh #/bin/bash for i in {1..100} do while true; do ./a.out; done & done $ ./run.sh $ while true; do bpftool prog >& /dev/null; done This patch used get_file_rcu() which only grabs a file if the file->f_count is not zero. This is to ensure the file pointer is always valid. The above reproducer did not fail for more than 30 minutes.
