Lorenz Bauer [thanks!] reported that a ptr returned by bpf_tcp_sock(sk)
can still be accessed after bpf_sk_release(sk).
Both bpf_tcp_sock() and bpf_sk_fullsock() have the same issue.
This patch addresses them together.
A simple reproducer looks like this:
sk = bpf_sk_lookup_tcp();
/* if (!sk) ... */
tp = bpf_tcp_sock(sk);
/* if (!tp) ... */
bpf_sk_release(sk);
snd_cwnd = tp->snd_cwnd; /* oops! The verifier does not complain. */
The problem is the verifier did not scrub the register's states of
the tcp_sock ptr (tp) after bpf_sk_release(sk).
[ Note that when calling bpf_tcp_sock(sk), the sk is not always
refcount-acquired. e.g. bpf_tcp_sock(skb->sk). The verifier works
fine for this case. ]
Currently, the verifier does not track if a helper's return ptr (in REG_0)
is "carry"-ing one of its argument's refcount status. To carry this info,
the reg1->id needs to be stored in reg0.
One approach was tried, like "reg0->id = reg1->id", when calling
"bpf_tcp_sock()". The main idea was to avoid adding another "ref_obj_id"
for the same reg. However, overlapping the NULL marking and ref
tracking purpose in one "id" does not work well:
ref_sk = bpf_sk_lookup_tcp();
fullsock = bpf_sk_fullsock(ref_sk);
tp = bpf_tcp_sock(ref_sk);
if (!fullsock) {
bpf_sk_release(ref_sk);
return 0;
}
/* fullsock_reg->id is marked for NOT-NULL.
* Same for tp_reg->id because they have the same id.
*/
/* oops. verifier did not complain about the missing !tp check */
snd_cwnd = tp->snd_cwnd;
Hence, a new "ref_obj_id" is needed in "struct bpf_reg_state".
With a new ref_obj_id, when bpf_sk_release(sk) is called, the verifier can
scrub all reg states which has a ref_obj_id match. It is done with the
changes in release_reg_references() in this patch.
While fixing it, sk_to_full_sk() is removed from bpf_tcp_sock() and
bpf_sk_fullsock() to avoid these helpers from returning
another ptr. It will make bpf_sk_release(tp) possible:
sk = bpf_sk_lookup_tcp();
/* if (!sk) ... */
tp = bpf_tcp_sock(sk);
/* if (!tp) ... */
bpf_sk_release(tp);
A separate helper "bpf_get_listener_sock()" will be added in a later
patch to do sk_to_full_sk().
Misc change notes:
- To allow bpf_sk_release(tp), the arg of bpf_sk_release() is changed
from ARG_PTR_TO_SOCKET to ARG_PTR_TO_SOCK_COMMON. ARG_PTR_TO_SOCKET
is removed from bpf.h since no helper is using it.
- arg_type_is_refcounted() is renamed to arg_type_may_be_refcounted()
because ARG_PTR_TO_SOCK_COMMON is the only one and skb->sk is not
refcounted. All bpf_sk_release(), bpf_sk_fullsock() and bpf_tcp_sock()
take ARG_PTR_TO_SOCK_COMMON.
- check_refcount_ok() ensures is_acquire_function() cannot take
arg_type_may_be_refcounted() as its argument.
- The check_func_arg() can only allow one refcount-ed arg. It is
guaranteed by check_refcount_ok() which ensures at most one arg can be
refcounted. Hence, it is a verifier internal error if >1 refcount arg
found in check_func_arg().
- In release_reference(), release_reference_state() is called
first to ensure a match on "reg->ref_obj_id" can be found before
scrubbing the reg states with release_reg_references().
- reg_is_refcounted() is no longer needed.
1. In mark_ptr_or_null_regs(), its usage is replaced by
"ref_obj_id && ref_obj_id == id" because,
when is_null == true, release_reference_state() should only be
called on the ref_obj_id obtained by a acquire helper (i.e.
is_acquire_function() == true). Otherwise, the following
would happen:
sk = bpf_sk_lookup_tcp();
/* if (!sk) { ... } */
fullsock = bpf_sk_fullsock(sk);
if (!fullsock) {
/*
* release_reference_state(fullsock_reg->ref_obj_id)
* where fullsock_reg->ref_obj_id == sk_reg->ref_obj_id.
*
* Hence, the following bpf_sk_release(sk) will fail
* because the ref state has already been released in the
* earlier release_reference_state(fullsock_reg->ref_obj_id).
*/
bpf_sk_release(sk);
}
2. In release_reg_references(), the current reg_is_refcounted() call
is unnecessary because the id check is enough.
- The type_is_refcounted() and type_is_refcounted_or_null()
are no longer needed also because reg_is_refcounted() is removed.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
