Re: [PATCH bpf-next v7 02/24] bpf/verifier: allow kfunc to read user provided context

On Thu, 21 Jul 2022 at 17:36, Benjamin Tissoires benjamin.tissoires@redhat.com wrote:

When a kfunc was trying to access data from context in a syscall eBPF program, the verifier was rejecting the call. This is because the syscall context is not known at compile time, and so we need to check this when actually accessing it.

Check for the valid memory access and allow such situation to happen.

LGTM, with just a couple more nits. Acked-by: Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi memxor@gmail.com

changes in v7:

• renamed access_t into atype
• allow zero-byte read
• check_mem_access() to the correct offset/size

new in v6

This will not be handling the case for NULL, only for kfunc(ptr_to_ctx, 0) A null pointer has its reg->type as scalar, so it will be handled by the default case.

We should use -EACCES, just to be consistent.
