From 77473d1a962f3d4f7ba48324502b6d27b8ef2591 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Vernet Date: Thu, 16 Mar 2023 00:40:24 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] bpf: Free struct bpf_cpumask in call_rcu handler The struct bpf_cpumask type uses the bpf_mem_cache_{alloc,free}() APIs to allocate and free its cpumasks. The bpf_mem allocator may currently immediately reuse some memory when its freed, without waiting for an RCU read cycle to elapse. We want to be able to treat struct bpf_cpumask objects as completely RCU safe. This is necessary for two reasons: 1. bpf_cpumask_kptr_get() currently does an RCU-protected refcnt_inc_not_zero(). This of course assumes that the underlying memory is not reused, and is therefore unsafe in its current form. 2. We want to be able to get rid of bpf_cpumask_kptr_get() entirely, and intead use the superior kptr RCU semantics now afforded by the verifier. This patch fixes (1), and enables (2), by making struct bpf_cpumask RCU safe. A subsequent patch will update the verifier to allow struct bpf_cpumask * pointers to be passed to KF_RCU kfuncs, and then a latter patch will remove bpf_cpumask_kptr_get().
