bpf: add support for persistent maps/progs This work adds support for "persistent" eBPF maps/programs. The term "persistent" is to be understood that maps/programs have a facility that lets them survive process termination. This is desired by various eBPF subsystem users. Just to name one example: tc classifier/action. Whenever tc parses the ELF object, extracts and loads maps/progs into the kernel, these file descriptors will be out of reach after the tc instance exits. So a subsequent tc invocation won't be able to access/relocate on this resource, and therefore maps cannot easily be shared, f.e. between the ingress and egress networking data path. The current workaround is that Unix domain sockets (UDS) need to be instrumented in order to pass the created eBPF map/program file descriptors to a third party management daemon through UDS' socket passing facility. This makes it a bit complicated to deploy shared eBPF maps or programs (programs f.e. for tail calls) among various processes. We've been brainstorming on how we could tackle this issue and various approches have been tried out so far, which can be read up further in the below reference. The architecture we eventually ended up with is a minimal file system that can hold map/prog objects. The file system is a per mount namespace singleton, and the default mount point is /sys/fs/bpf/. Any subsequent mounts within a given namespace will point to the same instance. The file system allows for creating a user-defined directory structure. The objects for maps/progs are created/fetched through bpf(2) with two new commands (BPF_OBJ_PIN/BPF_OBJ_GET). I.e. a bpf file descriptor along with a pathname is being passed to bpf(2) that in turn creates (we call it eBPF object pinning) the file system nodes. Only the pathname is being passed to bpf(2) for getting a new BPF file descriptor to an existing node. The user can use that to access maps and progs later on, through bpf(2). Removal of file system nodes is being managed through normal VFS functions such as unlink(2), etc. The file system code is kept to a very minimum and can be further extended later on. The next step I'm working on is to add dump eBPF map/prog commands to bpf(2), so that a specification from a given file descriptor can be retrieved. This can be used by things like CRIU but also applications can inspect the meta data after calling BPF_OBJ_GET. Big thanks also to Alexei and Hannes who significantly contributed in the design discussion that eventually let us end up with this architecture here.

bpf: add initial bpf tracepoints This work adds a number of tracepoints to paths that are either considered slow-path or exception-like states, where monitoring or inspecting them would be desirable. For bpf(2) syscall, tracepoints have been placed for main commands when they succeed. In XDP case, tracepoint is for exceptions, that is, f.e. on abnormal BPF program exit such as unknown or XDP_ABORTED return code, or when error occurs during XDP_TX action and the packet could not be forwarded. Both have been split into separate event headers, and can be further extended. Worst case, if they unexpectedly should get into our way in future, they can also removed [1]. Of course, these tracepoints (like any other) can be analyzed by eBPF itself, etc. Example output: # ./perf record -a -e bpf:* sleep 10 # ./perf script sock_example 6197 [005] 283.980322: bpf:bpf_map_create: map type=ARRAY ufd=4 key=4 val=8 max=256 flags=0 sock_example 6197 [005] 283.980721: bpf:bpf_prog_load: prog=a5ea8fa30ea6849c type=SOCKET_FILTER ufd=5 sock_example 6197 [005] 283.988423: bpf:bpf_prog_get_type: prog=a5ea8fa30ea6849c type=SOCKET_FILTER sock_example 6197 [005] 283.988443: bpf:bpf_map_lookup_elem: map type=ARRAY ufd=4 key=[06 00 00 00] val=[00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00] [...] sock_example 6197 [005] 288.990868: bpf:bpf_map_lookup_elem: map type=ARRAY ufd=4 key=[01 00 00 00] val=[14 00 00 00 00 00 00 00] swapper 0 [005] 289.338243: bpf:bpf_prog_put_rcu: prog=a5ea8fa30ea6849c type=SOCKET_FILTER [1] https://lwn.net/Articles/705270/ Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net> Acked-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

bpf: fix clearing on persistent program array maps Currently, when having map file descriptors pointing to program arrays, there's still the issue that we unconditionally flush program array contents via bpf_fd_array_map_clear() in bpf_map_release(). This happens when such a file descriptor is released and is independent of the map's refcount. Having this flush independent of the refcount is for a reason: there can be arbitrary complex dependency chains among tail calls, also circular ones (direct or indirect, nesting limit determined during runtime), and we need to make sure that the map drops all references to eBPF programs it holds, so that the map's refcount can eventually drop to zero and initiate its freeing. Btw, a walk of the whole dependency graph would not be possible for various reasons, one being complexity and another one inconsistency, i.e. new programs can be added to parts of the graph at any time, so there's no guaranteed consistent state for the time of such a walk. Now, the program array pinning itself works, but the issue is that each derived file descriptor on close would nevertheless call unconditionally into bpf_fd_array_map_clear(). Instead, keep track of users and postpone this flush until the last reference to a user is dropped. As this only concerns a subset of references (f.e. a prog array could hold a program that itself has reference on the prog array holding it, etc), we need to track them separately. Short analysis on the refcounting: on map creation time usercnt will be one, so there's no change in behaviour for bpf_map_release(), if unpinned. If we already fail in map_create(), we are immediately freed, and no file descriptor has been made public yet. In bpf_obj_pin_user(), we need to probe for a possible map in bpf_fd_probe_obj() already with a usercnt reference, so before we drop the reference on the fd with fdput(). Therefore, if actual pinning fails, we need to drop that reference again in bpf_any_put(), otherwise we keep holding it. When last reference drops on the inode, the bpf_any_put() in bpf_evict_inode() will take care of dropping the usercnt again. In the bpf_obj_get_user() case, the bpf_any_get() will grab a reference on the usercnt, still at a time when we have the reference on the path. Should we later on fail to grab a new file descriptor, bpf_any_put() will drop it, otherwise we hold it until bpf_map_release() time. Joint work with Alexei.

The objects for maps/progs are created/fetched through bpf(2) with two new commands (BPF_OBJ_PIN/BPF_OBJ_GET). I.e. a bpf file descriptor along with a pathname is being passed to bpf(2) that in turn creates (we call it eBPF object pinning) the file system nodes. Only the pathname is being passed to bpf(2) for getting a new BPF file descriptor to an existing node. The user can use that to access maps and progs later on, through bpf(2). Removal of file system nodes is being managed through normal VFS functions such as unlink(2), etc. The file system code is kept to a very minimum and can be further extended later on. The next step I'm working on is to add dump eBPF map/prog commands to bpf(2), so that a specification from a given file descriptor can be retrieved. This can be used by things like CRIU but also applications can inspect the meta data after calling BPF_OBJ_GET.

bpf: add support for persistent maps/progs This work adds support for "persistent" eBPF maps/programs. The term "persistent" is to be understood that maps/programs have a facility that lets them survive process termination. This is desired by various eBPF subsystem users. Just to name one example: tc classifier/action. Whenever tc parses the ELF object, extracts and loads maps/progs into the kernel, these file descriptors will be out of reach after the tc instance exits. So a subsequent tc invocation won't be able to access/relocate on this resource, and therefore maps cannot easily be shared, f.e. between the ingress and egress networking data path. The current workaround is that Unix domain sockets (UDS) need to be instrumented in order to pass the created eBPF map/program file descriptors to a third party management daemon through UDS' socket passing facility. This makes it a bit complicated to deploy shared eBPF maps or programs (programs f.e. for tail calls) among various processes. We've been brainstorming on how we could tackle this issue and various approches have been tried out so far, which can be read up further in the below reference.

Removal of file system nodes is being managed through normal VFS functions such as unlink(2), etc. The file system code is kept to a very minimum and can be further extended later on. The next step I'm working on is to add dump eBPF map/prog commands to bpf(2), so that a specification from a given file descriptor can be retrieved. This can be used by things like CRIU but also applications can inspect the meta data after calling BPF_OBJ_GET. Big thanks also to Alexei and Hannes who significantly contributed in the design discussion that eventually let us end up with this architecture here.

bpf: add support for persistent maps/progs This work adds support for "persistent" eBPF maps/programs. The term "persistent" is to be understood that maps/programs have a facility that lets them survive process termination. This is desired by various eBPF subsystem users. Just to name one example: tc classifier/action. Whenever tc parses the ELF object, extracts and loads maps/progs into the kernel, these file descriptors will be out of reach after the tc instance exits. So a subsequent tc invocation won't be able to access/relocate on this resource, and therefore maps cannot easily be shared, f.e. between the ingress and egress networking data path. The current workaround is that Unix domain sockets (UDS) need to be instrumented in order to pass the created eBPF map/program file descriptors to a third party management daemon through UDS' socket passing facility. This makes it a bit complicated to deploy shared eBPF maps or programs (programs f.e. for tail calls) among various processes. We've been brainstorming on how we could tackle this issue and various approches have been tried out so far, which can be read up further in the below reference. The architecture we eventually ended up with is a minimal file system that can hold map/prog objects. The file system is a per mount namespace singleton, and the default mount point is /sys/fs/bpf/. Any subsequent mounts within a given namespace will point to the same instance. The file system allows for creating a user-defined directory structure. The objects for maps/progs are created/fetched through bpf(2) with two new commands (BPF_OBJ_PIN/BPF_OBJ_GET). I.e. a bpf file descriptor along with a pathname is being passed to bpf(2) that in turn creates (we call it eBPF object pinning) the file system nodes. Only the pathname is being passed to bpf(2) for getting a new BPF file descriptor to an existing node. The user can use that to access maps and progs later on, through bpf(2).

Whenever tc parses the ELF object, extracts and loads maps/progs into the kernel, these file descriptors will be out of reach after the tc instance exits. So a subsequent tc invocation won't be able to access/relocate on this resource, and therefore maps cannot easily be shared, f.e. between the ingress and egress networking data path. The current workaround is that Unix domain sockets (UDS) need to be instrumented in order to pass the created eBPF map/program file descriptors to a third party management daemon through UDS' socket passing facility. This makes it a bit complicated to deploy shared eBPF maps or programs (programs f.e. for tail calls) among various processes. We've been brainstorming on how we could tackle this issue and various approches have been tried out so far, which can be read up further in the below reference. The architecture we eventually ended up with is a minimal file system that can hold map/prog objects. The file system is a per mount namespace singleton, and the default mount point is /sys/fs/bpf/. Any subsequent mounts within a given namespace will point to the same instance. The file system allows for creating a user-defined directory structure. The objects for maps/progs are created/fetched through bpf(2) with two new commands (BPF_OBJ_PIN/BPF_OBJ_GET). I.e. a bpf file descriptor along with a pathname is being passed to bpf(2) that in turn creates (we call it eBPF object pinning) the file system nodes. Only the pathname is being passed to bpf(2) for getting a new BPF file descriptor to an existing node. The user can use that to access maps and progs later on, through bpf(2). Removal of file system nodes is being managed through normal VFS functions such as unlink(2), etc. The file system code is kept to a very minimum and can be further extended later on. The next step I'm working on is to add dump eBPF map/prog commands to bpf(2), so that a specification from a given file descriptor can be retrieved. This can be used by things like CRIU but also applications can inspect the meta data after calling BPF_OBJ_GET. Big thanks also to Alexei and Hannes who significantly contributed in the design discussion that eventually let us end up with this architecture here.

As Linus puts it in his analysis: [...] We actually RCU-delay the inode freeing itself, but when we do the final iput(), the "evict()" function is called synchronously. Now, the simple fix would seem to just RCU-delay the kfree() of the symlink data in bpf_evict_inode(). Maybe that's the right thing to do. [...] Al suggested to piggy-back on the ->destroy_inode() callback in order to implement RCU deferral there which can then kfree() the inode->i_link eventually right before putting inode back into inode cache. By reusing free_inode_nonrcu() from there we can avoid the need for our own inode cache and just reuse generic one as we currently do. And in-fact on top of all this we should just get rid of the bpf_evict_inode() entirely. This means truncate_inode_pages_final() and clear_inode() will then simply be called by the fs core via evict(). Dropping the reference should really only be done when inode is unhashed and nothing reachable anymore, so it's better also moved into the final ->destroy_inode() callback.

bpf: add support for persistent maps/progs This work adds support for "persistent" eBPF maps/programs. The term "persistent" is to be understood that maps/programs have a facility that lets them survive process termination. This is desired by various eBPF subsystem users. Just to name one example: tc classifier/action. Whenever tc parses the ELF object, extracts and loads maps/progs into the kernel, these file descriptors will be out of reach after the tc instance exits. So a subsequent tc invocation won't be able to access/relocate on this resource, and therefore maps cannot easily be shared, f.e. between the ingress and egress networking data path. The current workaround is that Unix domain sockets (UDS) need to be instrumented in order to pass the created eBPF map/program file descriptors to a third party management daemon through UDS' socket passing facility. This makes it a bit complicated to deploy shared eBPF maps or programs (programs f.e. for tail calls) among various processes. We've been brainstorming on how we could tackle this issue and various approches have been tried out so far, which can be read up further in the below reference. The architecture we eventually ended up with is a minimal file system that can hold map/prog objects. The file system is a per mount namespace singleton, and the default mount point is /sys/fs/bpf/. Any subsequent mounts within a given namespace will point to the same instance. The file system allows for creating a user-defined directory structure. The objects for maps/progs are created/fetched through bpf(2) with two new commands (BPF_OBJ_PIN/BPF_OBJ_GET). I.e. a bpf file descriptor along with a pathname is being passed to bpf(2) that in turn creates (we call it eBPF object pinning) the file system nodes. Only the pathname is being passed to bpf(2) for getting a new BPF file descriptor to an existing node. The user can use that to access maps and progs later on, through bpf(2). Removal of file system nodes is being managed through normal VFS functions such as unlink(2), etc. The file system code is kept to a very minimum and can be further extended later on. The next step I'm working on is to add dump eBPF map/prog commands to bpf(2), so that a specification from a given file descriptor can be retrieved. This can be used by things like CRIU but also applications can inspect the meta data after calling BPF_OBJ_GET. Big thanks also to Alexei and Hannes who significantly contributed in the design discussion that eventually let us end up with this architecture here.

bpf: Use mount_nodev not mount_ns to mount the bpf filesystem While reviewing the filesystems that set FS_USERNS_MOUNT I spotted the bpf filesystem. Looking at the code I saw a broken usage of mount_ns with current->nsproxy->mnt_ns. As the code does not acquire a reference to the mount namespace it can not possibly be correct to store the mount namespace on the superblock as it does. Replace mount_ns with mount_nodev so that each mount of the bpf filesystem returns a distinct instance, and the code is not buggy. In discussion with Hannes Frederic Sowa it was reported that the use of mount_ns was an attempt to have one bpf instance per mount namespace, in an attempt to keep resources that pin resources from hiding. That intent simply does not work, the vfs is not built to allow that kind of behavior. Which means that the bpf filesystem really is buggy both semantically and in it's implemenation as it does not nor can it implement the original intent. This change is userspace visible, but my experience with similar filesystems leads me to believe nothing will break with a model of each mount of the bpf filesystem is distinct from all others.

bpf: add support for persistent maps/progs This work adds support for "persistent" eBPF maps/programs. The term "persistent" is to be understood that maps/programs have a facility that lets them survive process termination. This is desired by various eBPF subsystem users. Just to name one example: tc classifier/action. Whenever tc parses the ELF object, extracts and loads maps/progs into the kernel, these file descriptors will be out of reach after the tc instance exits. So a subsequent tc invocation won't be able to access/relocate on this resource, and therefore maps cannot easily be shared, f.e. between the ingress and egress networking data path. The current workaround is that Unix domain sockets (UDS) need to be instrumented in order to pass the created eBPF map/program file descriptors to a third party management daemon through UDS' socket passing facility. This makes it a bit complicated to deploy shared eBPF maps or programs (programs f.e. for tail calls) among various processes. We've been brainstorming on how we could tackle this issue and various approches have been tried out so far, which can be read up further in the below reference. The architecture we eventually ended up with is a minimal file system that can hold map/prog objects. The file system is a per mount namespace singleton, and the default mount point is /sys/fs/bpf/. Any subsequent mounts within a given namespace will point to the same instance. The file system allows for creating a user-defined directory structure. The objects for maps/progs are created/fetched through bpf(2) with two new commands (BPF_OBJ_PIN/BPF_OBJ_GET). I.e. a bpf file descriptor along with a pathname is being passed to bpf(2) that in turn creates (we call it eBPF object pinning) the file system nodes. Only the pathname is being passed to bpf(2) for getting a new BPF file descriptor to an existing node. The user can use that to access maps and progs later on, through bpf(2). Removal of file system nodes is being managed through normal VFS functions such as unlink(2), etc. The file system code is kept to a very minimum and can be further extended later on. The next step I'm working on is to add dump eBPF map/prog commands to bpf(2), so that a specification from a given file descriptor can be retrieved. This can be used by things like CRIU but also applications can inspect the meta data after calling BPF_OBJ_GET. Big thanks also to Alexei and Hannes who significantly contributed in the design discussion that eventually let us end up with this architecture here.
