  This commit adds support for enabling IP defrag using pre-existing
netfilter defrag support. Basically all the flag does is bump a refcnt
while the link the active. Checks are also added to ensure the prog
requesting defrag support is run _after_ netfilter defrag hooks.

I was about to apply, but luckily caught this issue in my local test:

You cannot call mutex under rcu_read_lock.

Please make sure you have all kernel debug flags on in your testing.

Whoops, my bad. I think this patch should fix it:

Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: bpf: Don't hold rcu_read_lock during
 enable/disable

->enable()/->disable() takes a mutex which can sleep. You can't sleep
during RCU read side critical section.

Our refcnt on the module will protect us from ->enable()/->disable()
from going away while we call it.

I'll send out a v5 tomorrow morning unless you feel like applying the

Ack. Will make sure lockdep is on.

No. v6_hook is gone as soon as you unlock it.

I think we're protected here by the try_module_get() on the enable path.
And we only disable defrag if enabling succeeds. The module shouldn't
be able to deregister its hooks until we call the module_put() later.

I think READ_ONCE() would've been more appropriate but I wasn't sure if
that was ok given nf_defrag_v(4|6)_hook is written to by
rcu_assign_pointer() and I was assuming symmetry is necessary.

Does that sound right?

Thanks,
Daniel

Why is rcu_assign_pointer() used?
If it's not RCU protected, what is the point of rcu_*() accessors
and rcu_read_lock() ?

In general, the pattern:
rcu_read_lock();
ptr = rcu_dereference(...);
rcu_read_unlock();
ptr->..
is a bug. 100%.

The reason I left it like this is b/c otherwise I think there is a race
with module unload and taking a refcnt. For example:

ptr = READ_ONCE(global_var)
                                             <module unload on other cpu>
// ptr invalid
try_module_get(ptr->owner) 

I think the the synchronize_rcu() call in
kernel/module/main.c:free_module() protects against that race based on
my reading.

Maybe the ->enable() path can store a copy of the hook ptr in
struct bpf_nf_link to get rid of the odd rcu_dereference()?

Open to other ideas too -- would appreciate any hints.

Thanks,
Daniel

FWIW, I agree with Alexei, it does look... dodgy.

Yes, I agree.

I would suggest the following:

- Switch ordering of patches 2 and 3.
  What is currently patch 3 would add the .owner fields only.

Then, what is currently patch #2 would document the rcu/modref
interaction like this (omitting error checking for brevity):

rcu_read_lock();
v6_hook = rcu_dereference(nf_defrag_v6_hook);
if (!v6_hook) {
        rcu_read_unlock();
        err = request_module("nf_defrag_ipv6");
        if (err)
                 return err < 0 ? err : -EINVAL;
        rcu_read_lock();
	v6_hook = rcu_dereference(nf_defrag_v6_hook);
}

if (v6_hook && try_module_get(v6_hook->owner))
	v6_hook = rcu_pointer_handoff(v6_hook);
else
	v6_hook = NULL;

rcu_read_unlock();

if (!v6_hook)
	err();
v6_hook->enable();


I'd store the v4/6_hook pointer in the nf bpf link struct, its probably more
self-explanatory for the disable side in that we did pick up a module reference
that we still own at delete time, without need for any rcu involvement.

Because above handoff is repetitive for ipv4 and ipv6,
I suggest to add an agnostic helper for this.

I know you added distinct structures for ipv4 and ipv6 but if they would use
 the same one you could add

static const struct nf_defrag_hook *get_proto_frag_hook(const struct nf_defrag_hook __rcu *hook,
							const char *modulename);

And then use it like:

v4_hook = get_proto_frag_hook(nf_defrag_v4_hook, "nf_defrag_ipv4");

Without a need to copy the modprobe and handoff part.

What do you think?

That sounds reasonable to me. I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the input!
