bpf: Switch bpf_map ref counter to atomic64_t so bpf_map_inc() never fails
92117d84 ("bpf: fix refcnt overflow") turned refcounting of bpf_map into potentially failing operation, when refcount reaches BPF_MAX_REFCNT limit (32k). Due to using 32-bit counter, it's possible in practice to overflow refcounter and make it wrap around to 0, causing erroneous map free, while there are still references to it, causing use-after-free problems. But having a failing refcounting operations are problematic in some cases. One example is mmap() interface. After establishing initial memory-mapping, user is allowed to arbitrarily map/remap/unmap parts of mapped memory, arbitrarily splitting it into multiple non-contiguous regions. All this happening without any control from the users of mmap subsystem. Rather mmap subsystem sends notifications to original creator of memory mapping through open/close callbacks, which are optionally specified during initial memory mapping creation. These callbacks are used to maintain accurate refcount for bpf_map (see next patch in this series). The problem is that open() callback is not supposed to fail, because memory-mapped resource is set up and properly referenced. This is posing a problem for using memory-mapping with BPF maps. One solution to this is to maintain separate refcount for just memory-mappings and do single bpf_map_inc/bpf_map_put when it goes from/to zero, respectively. There are similar use cases in current work on tcp-bpf, necessitating extra counter as well. This seems like a rather unfortunate and ugly solution that doesn't scale well to various new use cases. Another approach to solve this is to use non-failing refcount_t type, which uses 32-bit counter internally, but, once reaching overflow state at UINT_MAX, stays there. This utlimately causes memory leak, but prevents use after free. But given refcounting is not the most performance-critical operation with BPF maps (it's not used from running BPF program code), we can also just switch to 64-bit counter that can't overflow in practice, potentially disadvantaging 32-bit platforms a tiny bit. This simplifies semantics and allows above described scenarios to not worry about failing refcount increment operation. In terms of struct bpf_map size, we are still good and use the same amount of space: BEFORE (3 cache lines, 8 bytes of padding at the end): struct bpf_map { const struct bpf_map_ops * ops __attribute__((__aligned__(64))); /* 0 8 */ struct bpf_map * inner_map_meta; /* 8 8 */ void * security; /* 16 8 */ enum bpf_map_type map_type; /* 24 4 */ u32 key_size; /* 28 4 */ u32 value_size; /* 32 4 */ u32 max_entries; /* 36 4 */ u32 map_flags; /* 40 4 */ int spin_lock_off; /* 44 4 */ u32 id; /* 48 4 */ int numa_node; /* 52 4 */ u32 btf_key_type_id; /* 56 4 */ u32 btf_value_type_id; /* 60 4 */ /* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) --- */ struct btf * btf; /* 64 8 */ struct bpf_map_memory memory; /* 72 16 */ bool unpriv_array; /* 88 1 */ bool frozen; /* 89 1 */ /* XXX 38 bytes hole, try to pack */ /* --- cacheline 2 boundary (128 bytes) --- */ atomic_t refcnt __attribute__((__aligned__(64))); /* 128 4 */ atomic_t usercnt; /* 132 4 */ struct work_struct work; /* 136 32 */ char name[16]; /* 168 16 */ /* size: 192, cachelines: 3, members: 21 */ /* sum members: 146, holes: 1, sum holes: 38 */ /* padding: 8 */ /* forced alignments: 2, forced holes: 1, sum forced holes: 38 */ } __attribute__((__aligned__(64))); AFTER (same 3 cache lines, no extra padding now): struct bpf_map { const struct bpf_map_ops * ops __attribute__((__aligned__(64))); /* 0 8 */ struct bpf_map * inner_map_meta; /* 8 8 */ void * security; /* 16 8 */ enum bpf_map_type map_type; /* 24 4 */ u32 key_size; /* 28 4 */ u32 value_size; /* 32 4 */ u32 max_entries; /* 36 4 */ u32 map_flags; /* 40 4 */ int spin_lock_off; /* 44 4 */ u32 id; /* 48 4 */ int numa_node; /* 52 4 */ u32 btf_key_type_id; /* 56 4 */ u32 btf_value_type_id; /* 60 4 */ /* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) --- */ struct btf * btf; /* 64 8 */ struct bpf_map_memory memory; /* 72 16 */ bool unpriv_array; /* 88 1 */ bool frozen; /* 89 1 */ /* XXX 38 bytes hole, try to pack */ /* --- cacheline 2 boundary (128 bytes) --- */ atomic64_t refcnt __attribute__((__aligned__(64))); /* 128 8 */ atomic64_t usercnt; /* 136 8 */ struct work_struct work; /* 144 32 */ char name[16]; /* 176 16 */ /* size: 192, cachelines: 3, members: 21 */ /* sum members: 154, holes: 1, sum holes: 38 */ /* forced alignments: 2, forced holes: 1, sum forced holes: 38 */ } __attribute__((__aligned__(64))); This patch, while modifying all users of bpf_map_inc, also cleans up its interface to match bpf_map_put with separate operations for bpf_map_inc and bpf_map_inc_with_uref (to match bpf_map_put and bpf_map_put_with_uref, respectively). Also, given there are no users of bpf_map_inc_not_zero specifying uref=true, remove uref flag and default to uref=false internally. Signed-off-by:Andrii Nakryiko <andriin@fb.com> Signed-off-by:
