Subject: [PATCH bpf v1 05/10] bpf: Reject resilient lock operations in rbtree callbacks
Date: Thu, 3 Sep 2026 16:44:23 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260903144433.1716731-6-memxor@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260903144433.1716731-1-memxor@gmail.com>
__bpf_rbtree_add() keeps parent and link pointers live across calls to the
program-supplied comparison callback. The verifier therefore requires the
root's lock to remain held throughout the callback.
The helper path enforces this rule for bpf_spin_lock() and
bpf_spin_unlock(), but the resilient lock kfunc argument path does not.
Since resilient locks may protect BPF rbtree roots, a callback can release
the root lock and let another CPU remove and free the node referenced by
the in-progress tree walk. The walk then resumes using freed pointers.
Reject resilient lock kfuncs in an rbtree comparison callback, matching
the existing policy for the spin lock helpers. Resilient-lock-protected
trees remain valid when their comparison callbacks leave lock state alone.
Fixes: 0de2046137f9 ("bpf: Implement verifier support for rqspinlock")
