Subject: [PATCH sched_ext/for-7.3 13/32] sched_ext: Add scx_cmask_ref for validated arena cmask access
Date: Thu,  2 Jul 2026 22:01:40 -1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260703080159.2314350-14-tj@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260703080159.2314350-1-tj@kernel.org>

kfuncs taking struct scx_cmask * from BPF arena memory have two problems.
The pointer can be any value the BPF prog hands in, and the header (@base
and @nr_cids) can be mutated by the prog concurrently with kernel access.

Add scx_cmask_ref, a validated handle. _init() normalizes the input pointer
into the arena's kern_vm range via scx_arena_to_kaddr() and snapshots
@base/@nr_cids; downstream sizing uses the snapshot, not the live header.
_shard() reads slices, _or() / _copy() write back; all bounded by the
snapshot. No callers yet.
