Subject: [PATCH bpf v7 08/10] bpf: Assign lock identity to callback map values
Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2026 01:32:16 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260917233222.2542500-9-memxor@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260917233222.2542500-1-memxor@gmail.com>

A nested bpf_for_each_map_elem() callback can unlock a different element
of the same map:

  static long inner(void *map, int *key, struct value *v,
                    struct value **outer_value)
  {
          bpf_spin_lock(&v->lock);
          bpf_spin_unlock(&(*outer_value)->lock);
          return 0;
  }

  static long outer(void *map, int *key, struct value *v, void *ctx)
  {
          bpf_for_each_map_elem(map, inner, &v, 0);
          return 0;
  }

Both callback values currently have ID zero and the same map_ptr.
process_spin_lock() compares those two fields, so it accepts the unlock
even though the two callbacks can receive different map elements.

Assign a fresh ID to every callback map value in the for-each,
timer/workqueue, and task-work constructors. Copies of one callback
argument retain its ID, so locking and unlocking through that argument
continues to work. Distinct callbacks also get distinct IDs for
single-element arrays, including inner arrays sharing inner_map_meta.

Preserve map_uid for every inner-map lookup and compare it through
check_ids() during state pruning. This preserves relationships between
maps, keys, and values while allowing equivalent states with different
lookup IDs to match. It avoids field-specific rules for when an inner map
needs an identity.

Move map_uid out of the metadata union and next to the other IDs, so
register comparisons can use the existing memcmp() ranges and remap the
IDs separately. Clear it when resetting a register or converting a map
lookup result to a socket pointer. Shrink frameno to u8, which is enough
for MAX_CALL_FRAMES, to make room without growing bpf_reg_state.

Fixes: d0d78c1df9b1 ("bpf: Allow locking bpf_spin_lock global variables")
