The bpf_seq_printf, bpf_trace_printk and bpf_snprintf helpers share one per-cpu buffer that they use to store temporary data (arguments to bprintf). They "get" that buffer with try_get_fmt_tmp_buf and "put" it by the end of their scope with bpf_bprintf_cleanup. If one of these helpers gets called within the scope of one of these helpers, for example: a first bpf program gets called, uses bpf_trace_printk which calls raw_spin_lock_irqsave which is traced by another bpf program that calls bpf_snprintf, then the second "get" fails. Essentially, these helpers are not re-entrant. They would return -EBUSY and print a warning message once. This patch triples the number of bprintf buffers to allow three levels of nesting. This is very similar to what was done for tracepoints in "9594dc3c7e7 bpf: fix nested bpf tracepoints with per-cpu data" Fixes: d9c9e4db186a ("bpf: Factorize bpf_trace_printk and bpf_seq_printf") Reported-by: syzbot+63122d0bc347f18c1884@syzkaller.appspotmail.com Signed-off-by: Florent Revest <revest@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20210511081054.2125874-1-revest@chromium.org
Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
