[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue with bpf_mem_cache_free_rcu() being called in a
preemptible context, but does silencing the warning with
raw_smp_processor_id() leave the underlying cross-CPU task migration hazard
intact?

If a task evaluates raw_smp_processor_id(), gets preempted, and then migrates
to another CPU, unit_free_rcu() will execute on the new CPU while still
operating on the original CPU's cache.

Since unit_free_rcu() only disables local interrupts for the current CPU,
the original CPU can concurrently modify its own cache. This could lead to
data races on the local_t active counter and concurrent execution of the
non-atomic __llist_add() operation, as seen here:

kernel/bpf/memalloc.c:unit_free_rcu() {
    ...
    local_irq_save(flags);
    if (local_inc_return(&c->active) == 1) {
        if (__llist_add(llnode, &c->free_by_rcu))
    ...
}

Could this concurrent access corrupt the lockless lists?

[Severity: High]
Does this fix the issue at the right layer? By adding the preemption
protection here, it masks the fact that the caller is running with migration
enabled, which leaves sibling APIs vulnerable.

For example, in __rhtab_map_lookup_and_delete_batch() in
kernel/bpf/hashtab.c, the batch loop iterates and calls rhtab_delete_elem()
without disabling migration.

If the map elements contain special fields (like BPF_KPTR),
rhtab_delete_elem() will first call rhtab_check_and_free_fields(), which
eventually calls bpf_mem_free().

Since bpf_mem_free() also uses this_cpu_ptr() without get_cpu() protection:

kernel/bpf/memalloc.c:bpf_mem_free() {
    ...
    unit_free(this_cpu_ptr(ma->caches)->cache + idx, ptr);
    ...
}

Will this result in the exact same BUG being triggered on that path? Should
the missing migration protection be added to
__rhtab_map_lookup_and_delete_batch() instead of modifying the allocator
here?

This splat is specific to rhash...

For HASH/PERCPU_HASH/..., most operations are performed under
bpf_disable_instrumentation(); see __htab_map_lookup_and_delete_batch().

But for rhash, bpf_mem_cache_free_rcu() is called outside the
bpf_disable_instrumentation() region; see 
__rhtab_map_lookup_and_delete_batch().

note: map_lookup_and_delete_batch() disable cpu migration

Let's use bpf_disable/enable_instrumentation() consistently to protect

[Severity: High]
Does wrapping this batch operation in bpf_disable_instrumentation() risk
blinding BPF tracing globally on the CPU if preemption occurs?

bpf_disable_instrumentation() increments the per-CPU bpf_prog_active counter.
Because migrate_disable() and rcu_read_lock() do not disable preemption under
CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU, the task can be preempted during this potentially long
loop.

If preempted, bpf_prog_active would remain elevated on that CPU, which could
cause subsequent tasks scheduled on the same CPU to silently drop BPF tracing
events (kprobes, tracepoints, perf).

bpf: Fix smp_processor_id() call trace for preemptible kernels

This commit attempts to fix a preemption warning in bpf_mem_cache_free_rcu()
by wrapping the batch deletion loop in get_cpu() and put_cpu(). This disables
preemption rather than prohibiting migration.

[Severity: High]
Will this unbounded loop with preemption disabled cause soft lockups?

The user-space process provides the count parameter which determines the size
of the total variable. Wrapping this potentially massive loop inside get_cpu()
and put_cpu() completely disables preemption for the entire duration of the
deletion loop.

Can this lead to severe CPU latency spikes and system unresponsiveness,
especially on real-time and preemptible kernels?

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but does calling rhtab_delete_elem() here
violate RCU reader guarantees?

Looking at rhtab_delete_elem() in kernel/bpf/hashtab.c, it synchronously
frees the element's special fields:

kernel/bpf/hashtab.c:rhtab_delete_elem() {
    ...
    /* Release internal structs: kptr, bpf_timer, task_work, wq */
    rhtab_check_and_free_fields(rhtab, elem);
    bpf_mem_cache_free_rcu(&rhtab->ma, elem);
    return 0;
}

Since rhtab_check_and_free_fields() immediately calls bpf_obj_free_fields(),
this destroys fields (like kptr) before the RCU grace period elapses.

Could concurrent RCU readers accessing the element during the grace period
read freed pointers, resulting in a use-after-free?

The commit message says "guarded against migration" but the fix actually
disables preemption using get_cpu()/put_cpu(). Is this description accurate?

get_cpu() does preempt_disable() + __smp_processor_id(), not just
migrate_disable(). The later sentence "disabling preemption rather than
prohibiting migration" correctly describes the fix, but this earlier line
understates the requirement.

The reasoning about bpf_disable_instrumentation() is sound, but could the
commit message clarify that rhtab_delete_elem() already calls
bpf_disable_instrumentation() internally?

Looking at rhtab_delete_elem():

kernel/bpf/hashtab.c:rhtab_delete_elem() {
    ...
    bpf_disable_instrumentation();
    ret = rhashtable_remove_fast(&rhtab->table, &elem->htab_node,
                                  rhtab->rhtable_params);
    bpf_enable_instrumentation();
    ...
}

This means the same "blinding BPF tracing" window already exists in the
per-element path. The argument is against a longer-held instrumentation
disable across the entire loop, not a categorical concern.

Should the Fixes tag point to a different commit? The bug occurs when
__rhtab_map_lookup_and_delete_batch() calls rhtab_delete_elem() which calls
bpf_mem_cache_free_rcu() in preemptible context.

Commit 5af6807bdb10 introduced bpf_mem_free_rcu() in 2023 but did not modify
kernel/bpf/hashtab.c or introduce the rhtab code. The call chain was
introduced by:

  Fixes: 6905f8601298 ("bpf: Allow special fields in resizable hashtab")

which added the rhtab implementation including __rhtab_map_lookup_and_delete_batch()
and the call to bpf_mem_cache_free_rcu() in rhtab_delete_elem().

from what I can see, bpf_mem_free() is called through bpf kfuncs only,
and all BPF programs run with migration disabled. So this seems like a
false positive. For per-cpu checking, it should probably check that
either preemption is disabled or migration is disabled. tl;dr, there
doesn't seem to be any

Today, I researched the call sites of bpf_mem_free() in detail; it is
called directly by bpf kfuns only. 

Different BPF program types execute in distinct kernel contexts: for
instance, XDP and TC typically run in non-sleepable networking contexts,
whereas `raw_tp`, `tracing`, `LSM`, `syscall` and especially sleepable
BPF programs may run in contexts where preemption and migration are
enabled. Consequently, any shared BPF code (such as a helper or kfunc)
that accesses per-CPU data must not rely on the caller having disabled
migration; instead, it must internally ensure that CPU migration does
not occur during the access.

Taking into account the CI reviewer's feedback [1] and my further
investigation into BPF programs as described above, the adjustments
related to bpf_mem_free() should be retained.

My earlier actions were driven by a desire to keep pace with the CI
reviewer's response speed.
Moving forward, I will slow down the cadence of new patch submissions,
as you suggested.
