Subject: [PATCH net v2 1/3] netdevsim: reject cls_bpf programs bound to another device
Date: Sat, 10 Oct 2026 17:02:48 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <QDISC-PYC7.v2.20261010165947-2@mojatatu.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <QDISC-PYC7.v2.20261010165947@mojatatu.com>
The issue:
nsim_bpf_setup_tc_block_cb() installs any device-bound SCHED_CLS program
without checking that its offload device matches the target netdev. The
core cls_bpf attach path rejects a mismatching program, but a netdev that
joins a shared block later is replayed the stored filter by
cls_bpf_reoffload() before it is inserted into block->ports, so the
attach-time check cannot see it. The driver callback is the
authoritative per-device acceptance boundary and must enforce the match
itself, as nfp already does in nfp_net_bpf_offload().
Without the check, replaying a device-bound program onto a different
bpf_offload_dev installs it into that device's netdevsim state, which
trips the WARN in nsim_bpf_uninit() (ns->bpf_offloaded set on a foreign
device) and can dereference a NULL prog->aux->offload in
nsim_prog_set_loaded().
The Fix:
Reject a device-bound program whose offload device does not match the
target netdev, with -EINVAL and an extack so the rejected replay is not
silent. The check is intentionally narrower than nfp's: it fires only
for a dev-bound program, so nsim's bpf_tc_non_bound_accept mode (which
admits an unbound program onto the device) is unaffected. Teardown is
never blocked: the guard is on the program being installed and an unbind
passes cls_bpf.prog = NULL.
Conditions to recreate the bug:
- CONFIG_NETDEVSIM=y, CONFIG_NET_CLS_BPF=y
- load and pin a dev-bound SCHED_CLS program for netdevsim device B
- install the program on a shared block owned by B
- add an independently backed netdevsim device C to that block; the
bind replays the filter to C's callback, and C's
ports/0/bpf_offloaded_id takes the B-bound program id.

v1 -> v2 (v2 of an on-list patch; v1 posted 2026-10-04):
- Finding (nipa Sashiko High, v1) -- FIXED: the
every-member predicate is enforced only at add/replace, but a netdev
joining a shared block later is replayed the stored filter by
cls_bpf_reoffload() before it is inserted into block->ports
(tcf_block_offload_bind precedes the xa_insert). Neither
cls_bpf_reoffload() nor nsim_bpf_setup_tc_block_cb() checked
bpf_offload_dev_match(), so the B-bound program was installed on the
joining device (re-opening the 120977e2c096 mixed-block defect).
Fixed by enforcing the device match in nsim_bpf_setup_tc_block_cb()
(drivers/net/netdevsim/bpf.c), mirroring nfp.
- Style (gemini + nipa Low) -- FIXED: the shared-block comment opens with
/* on its own line.
- The companion selftest exercises shared-block and late-join coverage,
pinning both the all-members predicate and this callback's replay gate.
- Split the single v2 draft into [PATCH net v2 1/3] netdevsim,
2/3 cls_bpf and 3/3 selftests, each with its own Fixes: and stable
metadata.
