Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 1/2] bpf: Add dentry kfuncs for BPF LSM programs
Date: Wed, 24 Sep 2025 19:24:33 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250924232434.74761-2-dwindsor@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250924232434.74761-1-dwindsor@gmail.com>
Add six new BPF kfuncs that enable BPF LSM programs to safely interact
with dentry objects:
- bpf_dget(): Acquire reference on dentry
- bpf_dput(): Release reference on dentry
- bpf_dget_parent(): Get referenced parent dentry
- bpf_d_find_alias(): Find referenced alias dentry for inode
- bpf_file_dentry(): Get dentry from file
- bpf_file_vfsmount(): Get vfsmount from file
All kfuncs are currently restricted to BPF_PROG_TYPE_LSM programs.
