Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: bpf_local_storage: Always use bpf_mem_alloc in PREEMPT_RT In PREEMPT_RT, kmalloc(GFP_ATOMIC) is still not safe in non preemptible context. bpf_mem_alloc must be used in PREEMPT_RT. This patch is to enforce bpf_mem_alloc in the bpf_local_storage when CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT is enabled. [ 35.118559] BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/spinlock_rt.c:48 [ 35.118566] in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, non_block: 0, pid: 1832, name: test_progs [ 35.118569] preempt_count: 1, expected: 0 [ 35.118571] RCU nest depth: 1, expected: 1 [ 35.118577] INFO: lockdep is turned off. ...

The verifier has ensured GFP_KERNEL is passed only in sleepable context. It has been an old issue since the first introduction of the bpf_local_storage ~5 years ago, so this patch targets the bpf-next. bpf_mem_alloc is needed to solve it, so the Fixes tag is set to the commit when bpf_mem_alloc was first used in the bpf_local_storage.
