[PATCH bpf v2] bpf: Fix missing migration protection in __rhtab_map_lookup_and_delete_batch()
From: Ömer Mete Kaya
Date: Tue Sep 29 2026 - 04:17:34 EST
bpf_mem_cache_free_rcu() uses this_cpu_ptr() which requires migration
to be disabled. All callers of rhtab_delete_elem() disable migration
except __rhtab_map_lookup_and_delete_batch(), which calls it under
rcu_read_lock() only.
On CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU, rcu_read_lock() does not disable preemption or
migration, so the task can migrate between CPUs during the delete loop,
causing this_cpu_ptr() to trigger:
BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code
Fix by wrapping the delete loop in migrate_disable()/migrate_enable()
in __rhtab_map_lookup_and_delete_batch(), matching the migration
protection that the other callers already provide.
Fixes: 818e00848227 ("bpf: Implement iteration ops for resizable hashtab")

Changes in v2:
- Fix root cause in __rhtab_map_lookup_and_delete_batch() with
migrate_disable()/migrate_enable() instead of stretching
bpf_disable_instrumentation() in rhtab_delete_elem().
- Fix Fixes: tag to 818e00848227.
- Fix commit message: migration disabled, not preemption.
Tested with syzkaller:
- Before the fix: the reported warning was reproduced reliably.
- After the fix: the warning was no longer reproducible.
