Vlad Poenaru f0967d4f1b bpf: Allow LPM map access from sleepable BPF programs
[ Upstream commit 2f884d371f ]

trie_lookup_elem() annotates its rcu_dereference_check() walks with
only rcu_read_lock_bh_held().  Because rcu_dereference_check(p, c)
resolves to "c || rcu_read_lock_held()", this passes for XDP/NAPI and
classic RCU readers but fails for sleepable BPF programs, which enter
via __bpf_prog_enter_sleepable() and hold only rcu_read_lock_trace().

trie_update_elem() and trie_delete_elem() have the same problem in a
different form: they walk the trie with plain rcu_dereference(), which
asserts rcu_read_lock_held() unconditionally.  Both are reachable from
sleepable BPF programs via the bpf_map_update_elem / bpf_map_delete_elem
helpers, and from the syscall path under classic rcu_read_lock().  In
the writer paths the trie is actually protected by trie->lock (an
rqspinlock taken across the walk); we never relied on the RCU read-side
lock to keep nodes alive there.

A sleepable LSM hook that ends up touching an LPM trie therefore
triggers lockdep on debug kernels:

  =============================
  WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
  7.1.0-... Tainted: G            E
  -----------------------------
  kernel/bpf/lpm_trie.c:249 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!
  1 lock held by net_tests/540:
   #0: (rcu_tasks_trace_srcu_struct){....}-{0:0},

   security_socket_connect
   __sys_connect
   do_syscall_64

This is lockdep-only -- no UAF, since Tasks Trace RCU does serialize
against the trie's reclaim path -- but it spams the console once per
distinct callsite on every debug kernel running a sleepable BPF LSM
that touches an LPM trie, which is increasingly common.

For the lookup path, switch the rcu_dereference_check() annotation
from rcu_read_lock_bh_held() to bpf_rcu_lock_held(), which accepts all
three contexts (classic, BH, Tasks Trace).  Other map types already
follow this convention.

For trie_update_elem() and trie_delete_elem(), annotate the walks as
rcu_dereference_protected(*p, 1) -- matching trie_free() in the same
file -- since trie->lock is held across the walk.  rqspinlock has no
lockdep_map, so the predicate degenerates to '1' rather than
lockdep_is_held(&trie->lock); the protection is real but not
machine-verifiable.  trie_get_next_key() also uses bare
rcu_dereference() but is reachable only from the BPF syscall, which
holds classic rcu_read_lock() before dispatching, so it is left
untouched.
