I still have the impression that a helper for lookup_user_key() is the
preferred solution, despite the access control concern.

David, may ask if this is the correct way to use the key subsystem
API when permission check is deferred? key_permission() is currently
not defined outside the key subsystem.

The first three functions will be exposed by the kernel to eBPF programs
and can be called at any time. bpf_<key_helper> is a generic helper
dealing with a key.

BPF_CALL_2(bpf_lookup_user_key, u32, serial, unsigned long, flags)
{
...
key_ref = lookup_user_key(serial, flags, KEY_DEFER_PERM_CHECK);
...
return (unsigned long)key_ref_to_ptr(key_ref);
}

BPF_CALL_X(bpf_<key_helper>, struct key, *key, ...)
{
ret = key_read_state(key);
...
ret = key_validate(key);
...
ret = key_permission(key_ref, <key helper-specific permission>);
...
}

BPF_CALL_1(bpf_key_put, struct key *, key)
{
key_put(key);
return 0;
}

An eBPF program would do for example:

SEC("lsm.s/bpf")
int BPF_PROG(bpf, int cmd, union bpf_attr *attr, unsigned int size)
{
struct key *key;
...
key = bpf_lookup_user_key(serial, flags);
...
ret = bpf_key_helper(key, ...);
...
key_put(key);
}

Thanks

Roberto
