Subject: [RFC nf-next v2 1/2] netfilter: bpf: support prog update

From: "D. Wythe" <[email protected]>

To support the prog update, we need to ensure that the prog seen
within the hook is always valid. Considering that hooks are always
protected by rcu_read_lock(), which provide us the ability to
access the prog under rcu.

Hi,

AFAICT nf_link->link.prog isn't annotated as __rcu,
so perhaps rcu_dereference() is not correct here?

In any case, sparse seems a bit unhappy:

.../nf_bpf_link.c:31:29: error: incompatible types in comparison expression (different address spaces):
.../nf_bpf_link.c:31:29: struct bpf_prog [noderef] __rcu *

Hi Simon,

thanks for the reporting.

Yes, I had anticipated that sparse would report an error. I tried to
cast the type,
but it would compile an error likes that:


net/netfilter/nf_bpf_link.c: In function ‘nf_hook_run_bpf’:
./include/asm-generic/rwonce.h:44:70: error: lvalue required as unary

So, I think we might need to go back to version 1.

@ Florian , what do you think ?

Use rcu_dereference_raw().

Got it. I'm also good with that.
