[PATCH bpf v2] bpf: Fix nested bpf_bprintf_prepare with more per-cpu buffers

From: Florent Revest
Date: Tue May 11 2021 - 04:12:15 EST


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")
