From e3c1b2e64d861aa73d76b973ac569c15a686142c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yafang Shao Date: Sun, 26 Dec 2021 16:56:49 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] bpf: allow setting mount device for bpffs We noticed our tc ebpf tools can't start after we upgrade our in-house kernel version from 4.19 to 5.10. That is because of the behaviour change in bpffs caused by commit d2935de7e4fd ("vfs: Convert bpf to use the new mount API"). In our tc ebpf tools, we do strict environment check. If the enrioment is not match, we won't allow to start the ebpf progs. One of the check is whether bpffs is properly mounted. The mount information of bpffs in kernel-4.19 and kernel-5.10 are as follows, - kenrel 4.19 $ mount -t bpf bpffs /sys/fs/bpf $ mount -t bpf bpffs on /sys/fs/bpf type bpf (rw,relatime) - kernel 5.10 $ mount -t bpf bpffs /sys/fs/bpf $ mount -t bpf none on /sys/fs/bpf type bpf (rw,relatime) The device name in kernel-5.10 is displayed as none instead of bpffs, then our environment check fails. Currently we modify the tools to adopt to the kernel behaviour change, but I think we'd better change the kernel code to keep the behavior consistent. After this change, the mount information will be displayed the same with the behavior in kernel-4.19, for example, $ mount -t bpf bpffs /sys/fs/bpf $ mount -t bpf bpffs on /sys/fs/bpf type bpf (rw,relatime) Fixes: d2935de7e4fd ("vfs: Convert bpf to use the new mount API") Signed-off-by: Yafang Shao Cc: David Howells --- kernel/bpf/inode.c | 18 ++++++++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 16 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/kernel/bpf/inode.c b/kernel/bpf/inode.c index 80da1db47c68..5a8b729afa91 100644 --- a/kernel/bpf/inode.c +++ b/kernel/bpf/inode.c @@ -648,12 +648,26 @@ static int bpf_parse_param(struct fs_context *fc, struct fs_parameter *param) int opt; opt = fs_parse(fc, bpf_fs_parameters, param, &result); - if (opt < 0) + if (opt < 0) { /* We might like to report bad mount options here, but * traditionally we've ignored all mount options, so we'd * better continue to ignore non-existing options for bpf. */ - return opt == -ENOPARAM ? 0 : opt; + if (opt == -ENOPARAM) { + if (strcmp(param->key, "source") == 0) { + if (param->type != fs_value_is_string) + return 0; + if (fc->source) + return 0; + fc->source = param->string; + param->string = NULL; + } + + return 0; + } + + return opt; + } switch (opt) { case OPT_MODE:
