[RFC nf-next 0/2] netfilter: bpf: support prog update

[D. Wythe]

From: "D. Wythe" <alibuda@linux.alibaba.com>

This patches attempt to support updating of progs with
bpf netfilter link, introducing a new RCU-protected context
to access the prog, and adding a corresponding test case.

[RFC nf-next 1/2] netfilter: bpf: support prog update

[D. Wythe]

From: "D. Wythe" <alibuda@linux.alibaba.com>

To support the prog update, we need to ensure that the prog seen
within the hook is always valid. Considering that hooks are always
protected by rcu_read_lock(), which provide us the ability to use a
new RCU-protected context to access the prog.

I don't understand the need for this structure.  AFAICS bpf_prog_put()
will always release the program via call_rcu()?

If it doesn't, we are probably already in trouble as-is without this
patch, I don't think anything that prevents us from ending up calling already
released bpf prog, or releasing it while another cpu is still running it
if bpf_prog_put releases the actual underlying prog instantly.

A BPF expert could confirm bpf-prog-put-is-call-rcu.

What kind of replacements-per-second rate are you aiming for?
I think

static DEFINE_MUTEX(bpf_nf_mutex);

is enough.

Then bpf_nf_link gains

	struct bpf_prog __rcu *prog

and possibly a trailing struct rcu_head, see below.

Don't understand the need for call_rcu either, see below.

This could then just rcu_deref link->prog.

Could you convert bpf_nf_link_dealloc to release via kfree_rcu instead?

I think you need to check link->dead here too.

ATM we only need to make sure the bpf prog itself stays alive until after
all concurrent rcu critical sections have completed.

After this change, struct bpf_link gets passed instead, so we need to
keep that alive too.

Which works with synchronize_rcu, sure, but that seems a bit overkill here.

These patches look unnecessary.
It seems that they accidently fix something else.

Hi Florian,

I must admit that I did not realize that bpf_prog is released
under RCU ...

Got it! Thank you very much for your suggestion.

Can I know the reason ?  Updating prog for active link is kind of 
important feature
for real application..

yes. it's and it's working as expected. Do you see an issue?

Hi Alexei,

I see the issue here is that bpf_nf_link has not yet implemented 
prog_update,
which just simply returned -EOPNOTSUPP right now.

Do you mean that it is already implemented in the latest tree or
the not-supported was expected?

Thanks,
D. Wythe

I see. The commit log didn't make it clear.
Yes. That would be good to support.

That's my bad. I will make the commit log more clear in the next version.
In any case, thanks very much for your feedback.
