[bpf PATCH v2 1/2] bpf: sockmap update rollback on error can incorrectly dec prog refcnt

[bpf PATCH v2 1/2] bpf: sockmap update rollback on error can incorrectly dec prog refcnt

[John Fastabend]

If the user were to only attach one of the parse or verdict programs
then it is possible a subsequent sockmap update could incorrectly
decrement the refcnt on the program. This happens because in the
rollback logic, after an error, we have to decrement the program
reference count when its been incremented. However, we only increment
the program reference count if the user has both a verdict and a
parse program. The reason for this is because, at least at the
moment, both are required for any one to be meaningful. The problem
fixed here is in the rollback path we decrement the program refcnt
even if only one existing. But we never incremented the refcnt in
the first place creating an imbalance.

This patch fixes the error path to handle this case.

[bpf PATCH v2 2/2] bpf: parse and verdict prog attach may race with bpf map update

[John Fastabend]

In the sockmap design BPF programs (SK_SKB_STREAM_PARSER,
SK_SKB_STREAM_VERDICT and SK_MSG_VERDICT) are attached to the sockmap
map type and when a sock is added to the map the programs are used by
the socket. However, sockmap updates from both userspace and BPF
programs can happen concurrently with the attach and detach of these
programs.

To resolve this we use the bpf_prog_inc_not_zero and a READ_ONCE()
primitive to ensure the program pointer is not refeched and
possibly NULL'd before the refcnt increment. This happens inside
a RCU critical section so although the pointer reference in the map
object may be NULL (by a concurrent detach operation) the reference
from READ_ONCE will not be free'd until after grace period. This
ensures the object returned by READ_ONCE() is valid through the
RCU criticl section and safe to use as long as we "know" it may
be free'd shortly.

Daniel spotted a case in the sock update API where instead of using
the READ_ONCE() program reference we used the pointer from the
original map, stab->bpf_{verdict|parse|txmsg}. The problem with this
is the logic checks the object returned from the READ_ONCE() is not
NULL and then tries to reference the object again but using the
above map pointer, which may have already been NULL'd by a parallel
detach operation. If this happened bpf_porg_inc_not_zero could
dereference a NULL pointer.

Fix this by using variable returned by READ_ONCE() that is checked
for NULL.

Applied to bpf tree, thanks!
