Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] bpf: Fix incorrect handling of user flags by percpu map updates
Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2026 14:57:52 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260930135753.1063495-2-maghasi@disroot.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260930135753.1063495-1-maghasi@disroot.org>

For BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERCPU_HASH map, htab_map_check_update_flags() and
check_flags() are not considering the possibility of a combination of
(BPF_NOEXIST, BPF_EXIST) flags with (BPF_F_CPU, BPF_F_ALL_CPUS) flags.
This causes the (BPF_NOEXIST, BPF_EXIST) flags to lose their effect.

For example, when using (BPF_F_CPU | BPF_EXIST) flag combination
with bpf_map_update_elem() on a BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERCPU_HASH map, the
BPF_EXIST flag does not prevent new insertions as expected.

Also for BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERCPU_ARRAY map, using the (BPF_F_ALL_CPUS |
BPF_EXIST) flag combination with bpf_map_update_elem() results in an
incorrect EINVAL error response, even though the flag combination is
valid.

This patch fixes the bug by adding proper flag validations and checks.

Fixes: c6936161fd55 ("bpf: Add BPF_F_CPU and BPF_F_ALL_CPUS flags support for percpu_hash and lru_percpu_hash maps")
Fixes: 8eb76cb03f0f ("bpf: Add BPF_F_CPU and BPF_F_ALL_CPUS flags support for percpu_array maps")
