[PATCH 4.18 152/235] bpf: fix rcu annotations in compute_effective_progs()

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Sep 24 2018 - 08:40:10 EST


4.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Roman Gushchin <guro@xxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 3960f4fd6585608e8cc285d9665821985494e147 ]

The progs local variable in compute_effective_progs() is marked
as __rcu, which is not correct. This is a local pointer, which
is initialized by bpf_prog_array_alloc(), which also now
returns a generic non-rcu pointer.

The real rcu-protected pointer is *array (array is a pointer
to an RCU-protected pointer), so the assignment should be performed
using rcu_assign_pointer().
