nfp: bpf: protect against mis-initializing atomic counters
Atomic operations on the NFP are currently always in big endian. The driver keeps track of regions of memory storing atomic values and byte swaps them accordingly. There are corner cases where the map values may be initialized before the driver knows they are used as atomic counters. This can happen either when the datapath is performing the update and the stack contents are unknown or when map is updated before the program which will use it for atomic values is loaded. To avoid situation where user initializes the value to 0 1 2 3 and then after loading a program which uses the word as an atomic counter starts reading 3 2 1 0 - only allow atomic counters to be initialized to endian-neutral values. For updates from the datapath the stack information may not be as precise, so just allow initializing such values to 0. Example code which would break: struct bpf_map_def SEC("maps") rxcnt = { .type = BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH, .key_size = sizeof(__u32), .value_size = sizeof(__u64), .max_entries = 1, }; int xdp_prog1() { __u64 nonzeroval = 3; __u32 key = 0; __u64 *value; value = bpf_map_lookup_elem(&rxcnt, &key); if (!value) bpf_map_update_elem(&rxcnt, &key, &nonzeroval, BPF_ANY); else __sync_fetch_and_add(value, 1); return XDP_PASS; } $ offload bpftool map dump key: 00 00 00 00 value: 00 00 00 03 00 00 00 00 should be: $ offload bpftool map dump key: 00 00 00 00 value: 03 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 Reported-by: David Beckett <david.beckett@netronome.com> Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <jakub.kicinski@netronome.com> Reviewed-by: Quentin Monnet <quentin.monnet@netronome.com> Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>
