[PATCH v12 04/10] KEYS: Move KEY_LOOKUP_ to include/linux/key.h
Posted by roberto.sassu@huaweicloud.com 3 years, 7 months ago
From: Roberto Sassu <roberto.sassu@huawei.com>

In preparation for the patch that introduces the bpf_lookup_user_key() eBPF
kfunc, move KEY_LOOKUP_ definitions to include/linux/key.h, to be able to
validate the kfunc parameters.

Also, introduce key_lookup_flags_check() directly in include/linux/key.h,
to reduce the risk that the check is not in sync with currently defined
flags.

Missing the description what the heck this function even is.

Please, explain that.

Also, the short subject is misleading because this *just*
does not move flags.

This is essentially a boolean function, right?

I.e. the implementation can be just:

!!(flags & ~(KEY_LOOKUP_CREATE | KEY_LOOKUP_PARTIAL))

Not even sure if this is needed in the first place, or
would it be better just to open code it. How many call
sites does it have anyway?

Absolutely fine with that, if you prefer.

It can be either, it more depends on if a new function
is needed in the first place.

E.g. if you are worried about maintaining you could just
as well define a constant containing the mask, right?

+1 A mask is better.

[PATCH v14 04/10] KEYS: Move KEY_LOOKUP_ to include/linux/key.h and add flags check function
Posted by Roberto Sassu 3 years, 7 months ago
From: Roberto Sassu <roberto.sassu@huawei.com>

In preparation for the patch that introduces the bpf_lookup_user_key() eBPF
kfunc, move KEY_LOOKUP_ definitions to include/linux/key.h, to be able to
validate the kfunc parameters.

Also, introduce key_lookup_flags_valid() to check if the caller set in the
argument only defined flags. Introduce it directly in include/linux/key.h,
to reduce the risk that the check is not in sync with currently defined
flags.

So, as said I'm not really confident that a function is
even needed in the first place. It's fine if there are
enough call sites to make it legit.

And *if* a named constant is enough, you could probably
then just squash to the same patch that uses it, right?

If there overwhelming amount of call sites I do fully
get having a helper.

Yes, the constant seems better. Maybe, I would add in the same patch
