bpf: don't select potentially stale ri->map from buggy xdp progs
We can potentially run into a couple of issues with the XDP bpf_redirect_map() helper. The ri->map in the per CPU storage can become stale in several ways, mostly due to misuse, where we can then trigger a use after free on the map: i) prog A is calling bpf_redirect_map(), returning XDP_REDIRECT and running on a driver not supporting XDP_REDIRECT yet. The ri->map on that CPU becomes stale when the XDP program is unloaded on the driver, and a prog B loaded on a different driver which supports XDP_REDIRECT return code. prog B would have to omit calling to bpf_redirect_map() and just return XDP_REDIRECT, which would then access the freed map in xdp_do_redirect() since not cleared for that CPU. ii) prog A is calling bpf_redirect_map(), returning a code other than XDP_REDIRECT. prog A is then detached, which triggers release of the map. prog B is attached which, similarly as in i), would just return XDP_REDIRECT without having called bpf_redirect_map() and thus be accessing the freed map in xdp_do_redirect() since not cleared for that CPU. iii) prog A is attached to generic XDP, calling the bpf_redirect_map() helper and returning XDP_REDIRECT. xdp_do_generic_redirect() is currently not handling ri->map (will be fixed by Jesper), so it's not being reset. Later loading a e.g. native prog B which would, say, call bpf_xdp_redirect() and then returns XDP_REDIRECT would find in xdp_do_redirect() that a map was set and uses that causing use after free on map access. Fix thus needs to avoid accessing stale ri->map pointers, naive way would be to call a BPF function from drivers that just resets it to NULL for all XDP return codes but XDP_REDIRECT and including XDP_REDIRECT for drivers not supporting it yet (and let ri->map being handled in xdp_do_generic_redirect()). There is a less intrusive way w/o letting drivers call a reset for each BPF run. The verifier knows we're calling into bpf_xdp_redirect_map() helper, so it can do a small insn rewrite transparent to the prog itself in the sense that it fills R4 with a pointer to the own bpf_prog. We have that pointer at verification time anyway and R4 is allowed to be used as per calling convention we scratch R0 to R5 anyway, so they become inaccessible and program cannot read them prior to a write. Then, the helper would store the prog pointer in the current CPUs struct redirect_info. Later in xdp_do_*_redirect() we check whether the redirect_info's prog pointer is the same as passed xdp_prog pointer, and if that's the case then all good, since the prog holds a ref on the map anyway, so it is always valid at that point in time and must have a reference count of at least 1. If in the unlikely case they are not equal, it means we got a stale pointer, so we clear and bail out right there. Also do reset map and the owning prog in bpf_xdp_redirect(), so that bpf_xdp_redirect_map() and bpf_xdp_redirect() won't get mixed up, only the last call should take precedence. A tc bpf_redirect() doesn't use map anywhere yet, so no need to clear it there since never accessed in that layer. Note that in case the prog is released, and thus the map as well we're still under RCU read critical section at that time and have preemption disabled as well. Once we commit with the __dev_map_insert_ctx() from xdp_do_redirect_map() and set the map to ri->map_to_flush, we still wait for a xdp_do_flush_map() to finish in devmap dismantle time once flush_needed bit is set, so that is fine.
