2026-06-06bpf: Add simple xattr support to bpffsDaniel Borkmann1-19/+237
Add support for extended attributes on bpffs inodes so that user space and BPF LSM programs can attach metadata, for example, a content hash or a security label - to a pinned object or directory. BPF LSM or user space tooling can then uniformly look at this (e.g. security.bpf.*) in similar way to other fs'es. The store is in-memory and non-persistent: it lives only for the lifetime of the mount, like everything else in bpffs. The modelling is similar to tmpfs. bpffs serves the trusted.* and security.* namespaces; user.* is left unsupported. As bpffs is FS_USERNS_MOUNT, security.* is reachable by the unprivileged mounter in a user namespace, and thus we are using the simple_xattr_set_limited infra there (trusted.* needs global CAP_SYS_ADMIN). bpf_fill_super() is open-coded instead of using simple_fill_super(), because the root inode must now be allocated through bpf_fs_alloc_inode() i.e. carry the bpf_fs_inode wrapper and come from the right cache - which requires s_op (and s_xattr) to be installed before the first inode is created. While at it, also harden s_iflags with SB_I_NOEXEC and SB_I_NODEV. bpf_fs_listxattr() is only reachable through the filesystem via i_op->listxattr, so the BPF token inode is left untouched. Name-based fsetxattr()/fgetxattr() on a token fd still work since the get/set handlers are installed at the superblock. For security.* namespace, we use simple_xattr_set_limited() but there was no simple_xattr_add_limited() API yet which was needed in bpf_fs_initxattrs() to avoid underflows in the accounting. The symlink target is freed in bpf_free_inode() rather than in bpf_destroy_inode() so that it is released only after an RCU grace period, as an RCU path walk following the symlink may still dereference inode->i_link in security_inode_follow_link(). Lastly, the bpf_symlink() allocated the symlink target is switched to GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT, so the string is charged to the caller's memcg.

2026-06-01bpf: fix UAF by restoring RCU-delayed inode freeing in bpffsDeepanshu Kartikey1-2/+11
commit 4f375ade6aa9 ("bpf: Avoid RCU context warning when unpinning htab with internal structs") moved inode cleanup from ->free_inode() into ->destroy_inode() to avoid sleeping in RCU context when calling bpf_any_put(). However this removed the RCU delay on freeing the inode itself and the cached symlink body (i_link), both of which can be accessed by RCU pathwalk (pick_link, may_lookup etc.). This causes a use-after-free when a concurrent unlinkat() drops the last inode reference and destroy_inode() frees the inode immediately, while another task is still walking the path in RCU mode and reads inode->i_opflags (offset +2) inside current_time() -> is_mgtime(). KASAN reports: BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in is_mgtime include/linux/fs.h:2313 Read of size 2 at addr ffff8880407e4282 (offset +2 = i_opflags) The rules (per Al Viro): ->destroy_inode() called immediately, can sleep, use for blocking cleanup e.g. bpf_any_put() ->free_inode() called after RCU grace period, use for freeing inode and anything RCU-accessible e.g. i_link Fix: split the two concerns properly: - keep bpf_any_put() in bpf_destroy_inode() since it is blocking and needs to run promptly - introduce bpf_free_inode() to handle kfree(i_link) and free_inode_nonrcu() with proper RCU delay, preventing the UAF Fixes: 4f375ade6aa9 ("bpf: Avoid RCU context warning when unpinning htab with internal structs") Reported-by: syzbot+36e50496c8ac4bcde3f9@syzkaller.appspotmail.com Closes: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=36e50496c8ac4bcde3f9 Suggested-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260423043906.GN3518998@ZenIV/ Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260602002607.110866-1-kartikey406@gmail.com/T/ [v1] Signed-off-by: Deepanshu Kartikey <kartikey406@gmail.com> Acked-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260602025249.113828-1-kartikey406@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>
2026-02-21Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argumentLinus Torvalds1-1/+1
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' | xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/' to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL argument to just drop that argument. Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered: they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically. For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate conversion. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2025-10-10bpf: Avoid RCU context warning when unpinning htab with internal structsKaFai Wan1-2/+2
When unpinning a BPF hash table (htab or htab_lru) that contains internal structures (timer, workqueue, or task_work) in its values, a BUG warning is triggered: BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/bpf/hashtab.c:244 in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, non_block: 0, pid: 14, name: ksoftirqd/0 ... The issue arises from the interaction between BPF object unpinning and RCU callback mechanisms: 1. BPF object unpinning uses ->free_inode() which schedules cleanup via call_rcu(), deferring the actual freeing to an RCU callback that executes within the RCU_SOFTIRQ context. 2. During cleanup of hash tables containing internal structures, htab_map_free_internal_structs() is invoked, which includes cond_resched() or cond_resched_rcu() calls to yield the CPU during potentially long operations. However, cond_resched() or cond_resched_rcu() cannot be safely called from atomic RCU softirq context, leading to the BUG warning when attempting to reschedule. Fix this by changing from ->free_inode() to ->destroy_inode() and rename bpf_free_inode() to bpf_destroy_inode() for BPF objects (prog, map, link). This allows direct inode freeing without RCU callback scheduling, avoiding the invalid context warning.

2025-09-23VFS: rename kern_path_locked() and related functions.NeilBrown1-2/+2
kern_path_locked() is now only used to prepare for removing an object from the filesystem (and that is the only credible reason for wanting a positive locked dentry). Thus it corresponds to kern_path_create() and so should have a corresponding name. Unfortunately the name "kern_path_create" is somewhat misleading as it doesn't actually create anything. The recently added simple_start_creating() provides a better pattern I believe. The "start" can be matched with "end" to bracket the creating or removing. So this patch changes names: kern_path_locked -> start_removing_path kern_path_create -> start_creating_path user_path_create -> start_creating_user_path user_path_locked_at -> start_removing_user_path_at done_path_create -> end_creating_path and also introduces end_removing_path() which is identical to end_creating_path(). __start_removing_path (which was __kern_path_locked) is enhanced to call mnt_want_write() for consistency with the start_creating_path().

2025-04-08VFS: rename lookup_one_len family to lookup_noperm and remove permission checkNeilBrown1-1/+1
The lookup_one_len family of functions is (now) only used internally by a filesystem on itself either - in a context where permission checking is irrelevant such as by a virtual filesystem populating itself, or xfs accessing its ORPHANAGE or dquota accessing the quota file; or - in a context where a permission check (MAY_EXEC on the parent) has just been performed such as a network filesystem finding in "silly-rename" file in the same directory. This is also the context after the _parentat() functions where currently lookup_one_qstr_excl() is used. So the permission check is pointless. The name "one_len" is unhelpful in understanding the purpose of these functions and should be changed. Most of the callers pass the len as "strlen()" so using a qstr and QSTR() can simplify the code. This patch renames these functions (include lookup_positive_unlocked() which is part of the family despite the name) to have a name based on "lookup_noperm". They are changed to receive a 'struct qstr' instead of separate name and len. In a few cases the use of QSTR() results in a new call to strlen(). try_lookup_noperm() takes a pointer to a qstr instead of the whole qstr. This is consistent with d_hash_and_lookup() (which is nearly identical) and useful for lookup_noperm_unlocked(). The new lookup_noperm_common() doesn't take a qstr yet. That will be tidied up in a subsequent patch.

2025-02-27Change inode_operations.mkdir to return struct dentry *NeilBrown1-4/+4
Some filesystems, such as NFS, cifs, ceph, and fuse, do not have complete control of sequencing on the actual filesystem (e.g. on a different server) and may find that the inode created for a mkdir request already exists in the icache and dcache by the time the mkdir request returns. For example, if the filesystem is mounted twice the directory could be visible on the other mount before it is on the original mount, and a pair of name_to_handle_at(), open_by_handle_at() calls could instantiate the directory inode with an IS_ROOT() dentry before the first mkdir returns. This means that the dentry passed to ->mkdir() may not be the one that is associated with the inode after the ->mkdir() completes. Some callers need to interact with the inode after the ->mkdir completes and they currently need to perform a lookup in the (rare) case that the dentry is no longer hashed. This lookup-after-mkdir requires that the directory remains locked to avoid races. Planned future patches to lock the dentry rather than the directory will mean that this lookup cannot be performed atomically with the mkdir. To remove this barrier, this patch changes ->mkdir to return the resulting dentry if it is different from the one passed in. Possible returns are: NULL - the directory was created and no other dentry was used ERR_PTR() - an error occurred non-NULL - this other dentry was spliced in This patch only changes file-systems to return "ERR_PTR(err)" instead of "err" or equivalent transformations. Subsequent patches will make further changes to some file-systems to return a correct dentry. Not all filesystems reliably result in a positive hashed dentry: - NFS, cifs, hostfs will sometimes need to perform a lookup of the name to get inode information. Races could result in this returning something different. Note that this lookup is non-atomic which is what we are trying to avoid. Placing the lookup in filesystem code means it only happens when the filesystem has no other option. - kernfs and tracefs leave the dentry negative and the ->revalidate operation ensures that lookup will be called to correctly populate the dentry. This could be fixed but I don't think it is important to any of the users of vfs_mkdir() which look at the dentry. The recommendation to use d_drop();d_splice_alias() is ugly but fits with current practice. A planned future patch will change this.

2024-01-24bpf: Support symbolic BPF FS delegation mount optionsAndrii Nakryiko1-38/+211
Besides already supported special "any" value and hex bit mask, support string-based parsing of delegation masks based on exact enumerator names. Utilize BTF information of `enum bpf_cmd`, `enum bpf_map_type`, `enum bpf_prog_type`, and `enum bpf_attach_type` types to find supported symbolic names (ignoring __MAX_xxx guard values and stripping repetitive prefixes like BPF_ for cmd and attach types, BPF_MAP_TYPE_ for maps, and BPF_PROG_TYPE_ for prog types). The case doesn't matter, but it is normalized to lower case in mount option output. So "PROG_LOAD", "prog_load", and "MAP_create" are all valid values to specify for delegate_cmds options, "array" is among supported for map types, etc. Besides supporting string values, we also support multiple values specified at the same time, using colon (':') separator. There are corresponding changes on bpf_show_options side to use known values to print them in human-readable format, falling back to hex mask printing, if there are any unrecognized bits. This shouldn't be necessary when enum BTF information is present, but in general we should always be able to fall back to this even if kernel was built without BTF. As mentioned, emitted symbolic names are normalized to be all lower case. Example below shows various ways to specify delegate_cmds options through mount command and how mount options are printed back: 12/14 14:39:07.604 vmuser@archvm:~/local/linux/tools/testing/selftests/bpf $ mount | rg token $ sudo mkdir -p /sys/fs/bpf/token $ sudo mount -t bpf bpffs /sys/fs/bpf/token \ -o delegate_cmds=prog_load:MAP_CREATE \ -o delegate_progs=kprobe \ -o delegate_attachs=xdp $ mount | grep token bpffs on /sys/fs/bpf/token type bpf (rw,relatime,delegate_cmds=map_create:prog_load,delegate_progs=kprobe,delegate_attachs=xdp) Signed-off-by: Andrii Nakryiko <andrii@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Acked-by: John Fastabend <john.fastabend@gmail.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20240124022127.2379740-20-andrii@kernel.org

2024-01-24bpf: Introduce BPF token objectAndrii Nakryiko1-5/+7
Add new kind of BPF kernel object, BPF token. BPF token is meant to allow delegating privileged BPF functionality, like loading a BPF program or creating a BPF map, from privileged process to a *trusted* unprivileged process, all while having a good amount of control over which privileged operations could be performed using provided BPF token. This is achieved through mounting BPF FS instance with extra delegation mount options, which determine what operations are delegatable, and also constraining it to the owning user namespace (as mentioned in the previous patch). BPF token itself is just a derivative from BPF FS and can be created through a new bpf() syscall command, BPF_TOKEN_CREATE, which accepts BPF FS FD, which can be attained through open() API by opening BPF FS mount point. Currently, BPF token "inherits" delegated command, map types, prog type, and attach type bit sets from BPF FS as is. In the future, having an BPF token as a separate object with its own FD, we can allow to further restrict BPF token's allowable set of things either at the creation time or after the fact, allowing the process to guard itself further from unintentionally trying to load undesired kind of BPF programs. But for now we keep things simple and just copy bit sets as is. When BPF token is created from BPF FS mount, we take reference to the BPF super block's owning user namespace, and then use that namespace for checking all the {CAP_BPF, CAP_PERFMON, CAP_NET_ADMIN, CAP_SYS_ADMIN} capabilities that are normally only checked against init userns (using capable()), but now we check them using ns_capable() instead (if BPF token is provided). See bpf_token_capable() for details. Such setup means that BPF token in itself is not sufficient to grant BPF functionality. User namespaced process has to *also* have necessary combination of capabilities inside that user namespace. So while previously CAP_BPF was useless when granted within user namespace, now it gains a meaning and allows container managers and sys admins to have a flexible control over which processes can and need to use BPF functionality within the user namespace (i.e., container in practice). And BPF FS delegation mount options and derived BPF tokens serve as a per-container "flag" to grant overall ability to use bpf() (plus further restrict on which parts of bpf() syscalls are treated as namespaced). Note also, BPF_TOKEN_CREATE command itself requires ns_capable(CAP_BPF) within the BPF FS owning user namespace, rounding up the ns_capable() story of BPF token. Also creating BPF token in init user namespace is currently not supported, given BPF token doesn't have any effect in init user namespace anyways.

2024-01-24bpf: Add BPF token delegation mount options to BPF FSAndrii Nakryiko1-12/+78
Add few new mount options to BPF FS that allow to specify that a given BPF FS instance allows creation of BPF token (added in the next patch), and what sort of operations are allowed under BPF token. As such, we get 4 new mount options, each is a bit mask - `delegate_cmds` allow to specify which bpf() syscall commands are allowed with BPF token derived from this BPF FS instance; - if BPF_MAP_CREATE command is allowed, `delegate_maps` specifies a set of allowable BPF map types that could be created with BPF token; - if BPF_PROG_LOAD command is allowed, `delegate_progs` specifies a set of allowable BPF program types that could be loaded with BPF token; - if BPF_PROG_LOAD command is allowed, `delegate_attachs` specifies a set of allowable BPF program attach types that could be loaded with BPF token; delegate_progs and delegate_attachs are meant to be used together, as full BPF program type is, in general, determined through both program type and program attach type. Currently, these mount options accept the following forms of values: - a special value "any", that enables all possible values of a given bit set; - numeric value (decimal or hexadecimal, determined by kernel automatically) that specifies a bit mask value directly; - all the values for a given mount option are combined, if specified multiple times. E.g., `mount -t bpf nodev /path/to/mount -o delegate_maps=0x1 -o delegate_maps=0x2` will result in a combined 0x3 mask. Ideally, more convenient (for humans) symbolic form derived from corresponding UAPI enums would be accepted (e.g., `-o delegate_progs=kprobe|tracepoint`) and I intend to implement this, but it requires a bunch of UAPI header churn, so I postponed it until this feature lands upstream or at least there is a definite consensus that this feature is acceptable and is going to make it, just to minimize amount of wasted effort and not increase amount of non-essential code to be reviewed. Attentive reader will notice that BPF FS is now marked as FS_USERNS_MOUNT, which theoretically makes it mountable inside non-init user namespace as long as the process has sufficient *namespaced* capabilities within that user namespace. But in reality we still restrict BPF FS to be mountable only by processes with CAP_SYS_ADMIN *in init userns* (extra check in bpf_fill_super()). FS_USERNS_MOUNT is added to allow creating BPF FS context object (i.e., fsopen("bpf")) from inside unprivileged process inside non-init userns, to capture that userns as the owning userns. It will still be required to pass this context object back to privileged process to instantiate and mount it. This manipulation is important, because capturing non-init userns as the owning userns of BPF FS instance (super block) allows to use that userns to constraint BPF token to that userns later on (see next patch). So creating BPF FS with delegation inside unprivileged userns will restrict derived BPF token objects to only "work" inside that intended userns, making it scoped to a intended "container". Also, setting these delegation options requires capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN), so unprivileged process cannot set this up without involvement of a privileged process. There is a set of selftests at the end of the patch set that simulates this sequence of steps and validates that everything works as intended. But careful review is requested to make sure there are no missed gaps in the implementation and testing. This somewhat subtle set of aspects is the result of previous discussions ([0]) about various user namespace implications and interactions with BPF token functionality and is necessary to contain BPF token inside intended user namespace.

For a clean, conflict-free revert of the token-related patches in commit d17aff807f84 ("Revert BPF token-related functionality"), the bpf fs commit 750e785796bb ("bpf: Support uid and gid when mounting bpffs") was undone temporarily as well. This patch manually re-adds the functionality from the original one back in 750e785796bb, no other functional changes intended. Testing: # mount -t bpf -o uid=65534,gid=65534 bpffs ./foo # ls -la . | grep foo drwxrwxrwt 2 nobody nogroup 0 Dec 20 13:16 foo # mount -t bpf bpffs on /root/foo type bpf (rw,relatime,uid=65534,gid=65534) Also, passing invalid arguments for uid/gid are properly rejected as expected.

2023-12-14bpf: support symbolic BPF FS delegation mount optionsAndrii Nakryiko1-38/+211
Besides already supported special "any" value and hex bit mask, support string-based parsing of delegation masks based on exact enumerator names. Utilize BTF information of `enum bpf_cmd`, `enum bpf_map_type`, `enum bpf_prog_type`, and `enum bpf_attach_type` types to find supported symbolic names (ignoring __MAX_xxx guard values and stripping repetitive prefixes like BPF_ for cmd and attach types, BPF_MAP_TYPE_ for maps, and BPF_PROG_TYPE_ for prog types). The case doesn't matter, but it is normalized to lower case in mount option output. So "PROG_LOAD", "prog_load", and "MAP_create" are all valid values to specify for delegate_cmds options, "array" is among supported for map types, etc. Besides supporting string values, we also support multiple values specified at the same time, using colon (':') separator. There are corresponding changes on bpf_show_options side to use known values to print them in human-readable format, falling back to hex mask printing, if there are any unrecognized bits. This shouldn't be necessary when enum BTF information is present, but in general we should always be able to fall back to this even if kernel was built without BTF. As mentioned, emitted symbolic names are normalized to be all lower case. Example below shows various ways to specify delegate_cmds options through mount command and how mount options are printed back: 12/14 14:39:07.604 vmuser@archvm:~/local/linux/tools/testing/selftests/bpf $ mount | rg token $ sudo mkdir -p /sys/fs/bpf/token $ sudo mount -t bpf bpffs /sys/fs/bpf/token \ -o delegate_cmds=prog_load:MAP_CREATE \ -o delegate_progs=kprobe \ -o delegate_attachs=xdp $ mount | grep token bpffs on /sys/fs/bpf/token type bpf (rw,relatime,delegate_cmds=map_create:prog_load,delegate_progs=kprobe,delegate_attachs=xdp) Acked-by: John Fastabend <john.fastabend@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrii Nakryiko <andrii@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231214225016.1209867-2-andrii@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>

2023-12-06bpf: introduce BPF token objectAndrii Nakryiko1-5/+7
Add new kind of BPF kernel object, BPF token. BPF token is meant to allow delegating privileged BPF functionality, like loading a BPF program or creating a BPF map, from privileged process to a *trusted* unprivileged process, all while having a good amount of control over which privileged operations could be performed using provided BPF token. This is achieved through mounting BPF FS instance with extra delegation mount options, which determine what operations are delegatable, and also constraining it to the owning user namespace (as mentioned in the previous patch). BPF token itself is just a derivative from BPF FS and can be created through a new bpf() syscall command, BPF_TOKEN_CREATE, which accepts BPF FS FD, which can be attained through open() API by opening BPF FS mount point. Currently, BPF token "inherits" delegated command, map types, prog type, and attach type bit sets from BPF FS as is. In the future, having an BPF token as a separate object with its own FD, we can allow to further restrict BPF token's allowable set of things either at the creation time or after the fact, allowing the process to guard itself further from unintentionally trying to load undesired kind of BPF programs.

2023-05-23bpf: Support O_PATH FDs in BPF_OBJ_PIN and BPF_OBJ_GET commandsAndrii Nakryiko1-8/+8
Current UAPI of BPF_OBJ_PIN and BPF_OBJ_GET commands of bpf() syscall forces users to specify pinning location as a string-based absolute or relative (to current working directory) path. This has various implications related to security (e.g., symlink-based attacks), forces BPF FS to be exposed in the file system, which can cause races with other applications. One of the feedbacks we got from folks working with containers heavily was that inability to use purely FD-based location specification was an unfortunate limitation and hindrance for BPF_OBJ_PIN and BPF_OBJ_GET commands. This patch closes this oversight, adding path_fd field to BPF_OBJ_PIN and BPF_OBJ_GET UAPI, following conventions established by *at() syscalls for dirfd + pathname combinations. This now allows interesting possibilities like working with detached BPF FS mount (e.g., to perform multiple pinnings without running a risk of someone interfering with them), and generally making pinning/getting more secure and not prone to any races and/or security attacks. This is demonstrated by a selftest added in subsequent patch that takes advantage of new mount APIs (fsopen, fsconfig, fsmount) to demonstrate creating detached BPF FS mount, pinning, and then getting BPF map out of it, all while never exposing this private instance of BPF FS to outside worlds.
