From b1fcd35cf53553a0a3ef949b05106d921446abc3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Borkmann Date: Fri, 23 May 2014 18:43:58 +0200 Subject: net: filter: let unattached filters use sock_fprog_kern The sk_unattached_filter_create() API is used by BPF filters that are not directly attached or related to sockets, and are used in team, ptp, xt_bpf, cls_bpf, etc. As such all users do their own internal managment of obtaining filter blocks and thus already have them in kernel memory and set up before calling into sk_unattached_filter_create(). As a result, due to __user annotation in sock_fprog, sparse triggers false positives (incorrect type in assignment [different address space]) when filters are set up before passing them to sk_unattached_filter_create(). Therefore, let sk_unattached_filter_create() API use sock_fprog_kern to overcome this issue. Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann Acked-by: Alexei Starovoitov Signed-off-by: David S.
