Subject: [PATCH net v2 0/4] tun: fix re-attaching the socket filter
Date: Tue, 29 Sep 2026 17:37:08 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260929093712.131096-1-clementwei90@163.com> (raw)
From: Rongguang Wei <weirongguang@kylinos.cn>
This is v2 of the series that fixes attaching a queue to a TAP device which
re-installs the socket filter of a persistent device.
Patch 1 fixes an inverted error check in tun_attach(): a successful
re-attach returned early, so the queue was never published in
tun->tfiles[] while TUNSETIFF still reported success. A failed re-attach
now aborts the attach, and the filter is detached again if a later step of
the attach fails.
Patch 2 adds sk_attach_filter_kern(), the kernel memory counterpart of
sk_attach_filter().
Patch 3 uses it to install a copy of the program that the kernel holds,
instead of reading tun->fprog from user space again on every later attach.
That is the second issue reported in the review of v1, fixed here together
with patch 1 as the review asked; IFF_NOFILTER keeps working and is no
longer needed as a workaround.
Patch 4 adds the selftest that a queue re-attached after the buffer the
program was copied from was made unreadable, a rejected TUNATTACHFILTER
that has to keep the saved descriptor, and attaching a queue without a
filter.
Rongguang Wei (4):
tun: fix inverted error check when re-attaching the filter
net: filter: add sk_attach_filter_kern() function
tun: keep a kernel copy of the socket filter program
selftests: net: add TAP socket filter attach tests
---
v2:
- roll back the filter attach when a later step of tun_attach() fails
- keep a copy of the program in the kernel, so that a later attach does
not depend on the address space of the process that set the filter
- add selftests for the re-attach and for a rejected TUNATTACHFILTER,
without patch 3, two of them fail.
