Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 0/2] bpf: Fix sleepable check for tracing prog
Date: Fri, 24 Jul 2026 22:14:20 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260724141422.10463-1-leon.hwang@linux.dev> (raw)
When CONFIG_FUNCTION_ERROR_INJECTION is disabled, a sleepable tracing prog
is allowed to attach to '__x64_'-alike prefix symbols.
It is because the verifier does not verify whether the symbol is a kernel
function or a bpf prog. That said, a sleepable tracing prog is allowed to
attach to a bpf prog target whose name has '__x64_'-alike prefix.
For example, a sleepable fentry prog attaches to a '__x64_sys_nop' XDP
prog, and copies buffer from a user pointer with bpf_copy_from_user()
helper. After attaching the XDP prog to lo interface, the kernel BUG
could be triggered by 'ping -c 1 -W 1 127.0.0.1':
[ 3.460756] BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/bpf/trampoline.c:1324
Fix it by disallowing sleepable tracing prog always when its target is
bpf prog.
