Subject: [PATCH bpf] bpf: respect CAP_IPC_LOCK in RLIMIT_MEMLOCK check
Date: Wed, 11 Sep 2019 11:18:16 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190911181816.89874-1-christian@cbarcenas.com> (raw)

A process can lock memory addresses into physical RAM explicitly
(via mlock, mlockall, shmctl, etc.) or implicitly (via VFIO,
perf ring-buffers, bpf maps, etc.), subject to RLIMIT_MEMLOCK limits.

CAP_IPC_LOCK allows a process to exceed these limits, and throughout
the kernel this capability is checked before allowing/denying an attempt
to lock memory regions into RAM.

Because bpf locks its programs and maps into RAM, it should respect
CAP_IPC_LOCK. Previously, bpf would return EPERM when RLIMIT_MEMLOCK was
exceeded by a privileged process, which is contrary to documented
RLIMIT_MEMLOCK+CAP_IPC_LOCK behavior.

Fixes: aaac3ba95e4c ("bpf: charge user for creation of BPF maps and programs")
