[PATCH bpf-next v1 0/2] bpf: Fix panic in bpf_get_local_storage
From: Jiayuan Chen
Date: Thu Apr 17 2025 - 00:45:16 EST
The selftest I provided can reproduce a panic:
'./test_progs -a cgroup_storage_update'
When we attach a program to cgroup and if prog->aux->cgroup_storage
exists, which means the cgroup_storage map is used in the program, we
will then allocate storage by bpf_cgroup_storages_alloc() and assign it
to pl->storage.
At the end, pl->storage will be assigned to
cgrp->bpf.effective[atype]->cgroup_storage by xxx_effective_progs().
But when we attach a program without the cgroup_storage map being used
(prog->aux->cgroup_storage is empty), the cgroup_storage in struct
bpf_prog_array_item is empty.
Then, if we use BPF_LINK_UPDATE to replace the old program with a new one
that uses the cgroup_storage map, we miss the cgroup_storage being
initialized.
This causes a panic when accessing storage in bpf_get_local_storage.
