2026-02-06io_uring: allow registration of per-task restrictionsJens Axboe-0/+6
Currently io_uring supports restricting operations on a per-ring basis. To use those, the ring must be setup in a disabled state by setting IORING_SETUP_R_DISABLED. Then restrictions can be set for the ring, and the ring can then be enabled. This commit adds support for IORING_REGISTER_RESTRICTIONS with ring_fd == -1, like the other "blind" register opcodes which work on the task rather than a specific ring. This allows registration of the same kind of restrictions as can been done on a specific ring, but with the task itself. Once done, any ring created will inherit these restrictions. If a restriction filter is registered with a task, then it's inherited on fork for its children. Children may only further restrict operations, not extend them. Inheriting restrictions include both the classic IORING_REGISTER_RESTRICTIONS based restrictions, as well as the BPF filters that have been registered with the task via IORING_REGISTER_BPF_FILTER.

2026-01-27io_uring/bpf_filter: cache lookup table in ctx->bpf_filtersJens Axboe-5/+5
Currently a few pointer dereferences need to be made to both check if BPF filters are installed, and then also to retrieve the actual filter for the opcode. Cache the table in ctx->bpf_filters to avoid that. Add a bit of debug info on ring exit to show if we ever got this wrong. Small risk of that given that the table is currently only updated in one spot, but once task forking is enabled, that will add one more spot.

2026-01-27io_uring: add support for BPF filtering for opcode restrictionsJens Axboe-0/+42
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.
