From 54713c85f536048e685258f880bf298a74c3620d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Toke Høiland-Jørgensen Date: Tue, 26 Oct 2021 13:00:19 +0200 Subject: bpf: Fix potential race in tail call compatibility check MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Lorenzo noticed that the code testing for program type compatibility of tail call maps is potentially racy in that two threads could encounter a map with an unset type simultaneously and both return true even though they are inserting incompatible programs. The race window is quite small, but artificially enlarging it by adding a usleep_range() inside the check in bpf_prog_array_compatible() makes it trivial to trigger from userspace with a program that does, essentially: map_fd = bpf_create_map(BPF_MAP_TYPE_PROG_ARRAY, 4, 4, 2, 0); pid = fork(); if (pid) { key = 0; value = xdp_fd; } else { key = 1; value = tc_fd; } err = bpf_map_update_elem(map_fd, &key, &value, 0); While the race window is small, it has potentially serious ramifications in that triggering it would allow a BPF program to tail call to a program of a different type. So let's get rid of it by protecting the update with a spinlock. The commit in the Fixes tag is the last commit that touches the code in question. v2: - Use a spinlock instead of an atomic variable and cmpxchg() (Alexei) v3: - Put lock and the members it protects into an embedded 'owner' struct (Daniel) Fixes: 3324b584b6f6 ("ebpf: misc core cleanup") Reported-by: Lorenzo Bianconi Signed-off-by: Toke Høiland-Jørgensen Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20211026110019.363464-1-toke@redhat.com --- kernel/bpf/arraymap.c | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) (limited to 'kernel/bpf/arraymap.c') diff --git a/kernel/bpf/arraymap.c b/kernel/bpf/arraymap.c index cebd4fb06d19..447def540544 100644 --- a/kernel/bpf/arraymap.c +++ b/kernel/bpf/arraymap.c @@ -1072,6 +1072,7 @@ static struct bpf_map *prog_array_map_alloc(union bpf_attr *attr) INIT_WORK(&aux->work, prog_array_map_clear_deferred); INIT_LIST_HEAD(&aux->poke_progs); mutex_init(&aux->poke_mutex); + spin_lock_init(&aux->owner.lock); map = array_map_alloc(attr); if (IS_ERR(map)) { -- cgit v1.2.3-59-g8ed1b
