[PATCH bpf v2 2/2] rethook: Reject getting a rethook if RCU is not watching

From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google)
Date: Tue Jun 07 2022 - 12:11:32 EST


From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@xxxxxxxxxx>

Since the rethook_recycle() will involve the call_rcu() for reclaiming
the rethook_instance, the rethook must be set up at the RCU available
context (non idle). This rethook_recycle() in the rethook trampoline
handler is inevitable, thus the RCU available check must be done before
setting the rethook trampoline.

This adds a rcu_is_watching() check in the rethook_try_get() so that
it will return NULL if it is called when !rcu_is_watching().

Fixes: 54ecbe6f1ed5 ("rethook: Add a generic return hook")
