From: Chuyi Zhou <zhouchuyi@bytedance.com> mainline inclusion from mainline-v6.7-rc1 commit cb3ecf7915a1d7ce5304402f4d8616d9fa5193f7 category: feature bugzilla: https://atomgit.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/8335 CVE: NA Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?i... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- When using task_iter to iterate all threads of a specific task, we enforce that the user must pass a valid task pointer to ensure safety. However, when iterating all threads/process in the system, BPF verifier still require a valid ptr instead of "nullable" pointer, even though it's pointless, which is a kind of surprising from usability standpoint. It would be nice if we could let that kfunc accept a explicit null pointer when we are using BPF_TASK_ITER_ALL_{PROCS, THREADS} and a valid pointer when using BPF_TASK_ITER_THREAD. Given a trival kfunc: __bpf_kfunc void FN(struct TYPE_A *obj); BPF Prog would reject a nullptr for obj. The error info is: "arg#x pointer type xx xx must point to scalar, or struct with scalar" reported by get_kfunc_ptr_arg_type(). The reg->type is SCALAR_VALUE and the btf type of ref_t is not scalar or scalar_struct which leads to the rejection of get_kfunc_ptr_arg_type. This patch add "__nullable" annotation: __bpf_kfunc void FN(struct TYPE_A *obj__nullable); Here __nullable indicates obj can be optional, user can pass a explicit nullptr or a normal TYPE_A pointer. In get_kfunc_ptr_arg_type(), we will detect whether the current arg is optional and register is null, If so, return a new kfunc_ptr_arg_type KF_ARG_PTR_TO_NULL and skip to the next arg in check_kfunc_args().
