Subject: [PATCH bpf] bpf: fix BPF_F_CPU validation for sparse CPU IDs
Date: Thu, 13 Aug 2026 18:12:31 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260813101229.680523-3-sh_def@163.com> (raw)

BPF_F_CPU stores the target CPU ID in the upper 32 bits of the map
operation flags. bpf_map_check_op_flags() currently compares that ID
with num_possible_cpus(), which is the number of possible CPUs rather
than a bound on CPU IDs.

On an arm64 QEMU guest with a CPU device-tree hole, the possible CPU
mask was 0,2-3. A userspace program using raw bpf() syscalls creates
a BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERCPU_ARRAY and performs update and lookup operations
for each CPU by setting BPF_F_CPU and the CPU ID in the flags.

With the old check, CPU 1 is incorrectly accepted while valid CPU 3 is
rejected with -ERANGE. The CPU 1 update then reaches the per-CPU map
access path and triggers:

  Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ...
  pc : __pi_memcpy_generic+0x5c/0x22c
  lr : bpf_percpu_array_update+0x2dc/0x2e8
  Call trace:
    __pi_memcpy_generic
    bpf_map_update_value
    map_update_elem
    __sys_bpf

Check the CPU ID against nr_cpu_ids and cpu_possible() instead. This
rejects CPU IDs outside the valid range and CPUs absent from the
possible mask, while allowing valid sparse CPU IDs.
