io_uring: add support for BPF filtering for opcode restrictions
Add support for loading classic BPF programs with io_uring to provide
fine-grained filtering of SQE operations. Unlike
IORING_REGISTER_RESTRICTIONS which only allows bitmap-based allow/deny
of opcodes, BPF filters can inspect request attributes and make dynamic
decisions.
The filter is registered via IORING_REGISTER_BPF_FILTER with a struct
io_uring_bpf:
struct io_uring_bpf_filter {
__u32 opcode; /* io_uring opcode to filter */
__u32 flags;
__u32 filter_len; /* number of BPF instructions */
__u32 resv;
__u64 filter_ptr; /* pointer to BPF filter */
__u64 resv2[5];
};
enum {
IO_URING_BPF_CMD_FILTER = 1,
};
struct io_uring_bpf {
__u16 cmd_type; /* IO_URING_BPF_* values */
__u16 cmd_flags; /* none so far */
__u32 resv;
union {
struct io_uring_bpf_filter filter;
};
};
and the filters get supplied a struct io_uring_bpf_ctx:
struct io_uring_bpf_ctx {
__u64 user_data;
__u8 opcode;
__u8 sqe_flags;
__u8 pdu_size;
__u8 pad[5];
};
where it's possible to filter on opcode and sqe_flags, with pdu_size
indicating how much extra data is being passed in beyond the pad field.
This will used for specific finer grained filtering inside an opcode.
An example of that for sockets is in one of the following patches.
Anything the opcode supports can end up in this struct, populated by
the opcode itself, and hence can be filtered for.
Filters have the following semantics:
- Return 1 to allow the request
- Return 0 to deny the request with -EACCES
- Multiple filters can be stacked per opcode. All filters must
return 1 for the opcode to be allowed.
- Filters are evaluated in registration order (most recent first)
The implementation uses classic BPF (cBPF) rather than eBPF for as
that's required for containers, and since they can be used by any
user in the system.
