Subject: [PATCH net] net/sched: act_bpf: use rcu_dereference_bh() to read the filter
Date: Mon, 29 Jun 2026 15:41:06 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260629154112.1164986-1-rhkrqnwk98@gmail.com> (raw)
tcf_bpf_act() can run from the tc egress path, which holds only
rcu_read_lock_bh(), but reads prog->filter with rcu_dereference() and
trips lockdep:
WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
net/sched/act_bpf.c:47 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!
1 lock held by syz.2.1588/12756:
#0: (rcu_read_lock_bh){....}-{1:3}, at: __dev_queue_xmit net/core/dev.c:4792

packet_sendmsg+0x3dfa/0x5120 net/packet/af_packet.c:3114
The other tc actions and cls_bpf already use rcu_dereference_bh() here.
Do the same.
Fixes: 1f211a1b929c ("net, sched: add clsact qdisc")
