Description

This fixes the bug where same inode in different paths conflict and cause them to be blocked.
Temporary fix for the bug involves plugging in a USB drive to move the inode.

Some other fixes also included as separate commits to make coderabbit happy.

Review Change Stack

Warning

Review limit reached

@Ghoul4500, you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start this review.

Next review available in: 23 minutes

You've used all free OSS reviews for now. Wait for the free limit to reset to keep reviewing this public repository.

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved GPU file-blocking accuracy across filesystems by distinguishing device and inode identities.
    • Prevented stale GPU entries from affecting newly detected devices.
    • Added NVIDIA inode synchronization during GPU refreshes and startup.
    • Added cleanup when GPU interfaces are refreshed or removed.
    • Improved compatibility on systems without optional directory-filtering support.
  • Tests

    • Added sandbox coverage verifying unrelated files remain accessible during GPU blocking.
    • Added validation for files sharing inode numbers across different filesystems.

Walkthrough

The change replaces raw inode numbers with filesystem-qualified InodeKey values. Daemon discovery, GPU tracking, eBPF maps, hooks, and blocker APIs now use device-plus-inode identity. GPU refresh synchronizes NVIDIA entries and removes stale entries. Tests validate cross-filesystem inode handling.

Changes

Filesystem-qualified inode blocking

Layer / File(s) Summary
Inode key contracts and blocker API
crates/cardwire-ebpf/src/maps.rs, crates/cardwire-ebpf-userspace/src/lib.rs
InodeKey combines device and inode identifiers. Blocker maps and userspace operations use InodeKey, including removal and experimental inode synchronization.
Daemon inode discovery and lifecycle tracking
crates/cardwire-daemon/src/core/inode.rs, crates/cardwire-daemon/src/interface/gpu.rs, crates/cardwire-daemon/src/interface/debug.rs, crates/cardwire-daemon/src/manager.rs
Filesystem metadata conversion returns InodeKey values. GPU interfaces synchronize current entries, remove stale entries, and synchronize NVIDIA entries during startup and refresh.
Device-aware eBPF enforcement
crates/cardwire-ebpf/src/helpers.rs, crates/cardwire-ebpf/src/main.rs, crates/cardwire-ebpf-userspace/src/lib.rs
LSM checks and directory-entry filtering use device-qualified keys. The iterate_dir hook records directory devices for getdents64 processing.
Sandbox collision validation
nix/ci-2gpu.nix, nix/vm-configuration.nix, crates/cardwire-ebpf-userspace/src/lib.rs
Integration and unit tests validate device conversion, cross-filesystem identity, and inode collision behavior. The VM installs bubblewrap.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 4adde

This change can leave configured enforcement absent or stale while the daemon still starts, and some attachment failures can instead prevent startup; affected systems may therefore run without the expected protection or fail to come online. These current-head runtime risks should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

- Around line 79-91: Update the GPU refresh flow around gpu.forget_inodes() so
existing entries in CW_BLOCKED_INO remain protected until replacement interfaces
have synchronized their inode sets. Preserve blocking throughout enumeration,
registration, task creation, and persisted-mode loading, or reconcile by
removing only inodes absent from the rebuilt GPU set.

In `@crates/cardwire-daemon/src/interface/gpu.rs`:
- Around line 107-126: Update sync_inodes so pushed_inodes records each inode
immediately after its block_inode or unblock_inode operation succeeds, rather
than assigning the complete set only after the loop; preserve cleanup of stale
entries and ensure a later error cannot leave successfully applied map entries
untracked.
- Around line 138-147: The refresh_gpu flow must clean up and repopulate
experimental NVIDIA block entries when experimental_nvidia_block is enabled. Add
removal support for the CW_EXP_BLK_INO entries associated with each GPU during
teardown, then rerun block_nvidia_inodes after rebuilding the GPU interfaces;
keep forget_inodes’ existing CW_BLOCKED_INO cleanup intact.

In `@crates/cardwire-ebpf-userspace/src/lib.rs`:
- Around line 555-646: Restrict conversion_matches_the_running_kernel to a
deterministic, bounded check by replacing the iteration over every mountinfo
entry with a fixed allow-list of local mount points such as "/" and "/proc";
preserve the existing kernel_dev versus mountinfo major/minor assertion for
paths that exist, while avoiding arbitrary or potentially blocking
network/autofs mounts.

In `@crates/cardwire-ebpf/src/helpers.rs`:
- Around line 13-25: Update the HashMap lookup calls associated with inode_key
to pass references to their key values, using get(&key) rather than get(key);
apply the same borrowed-key form to all related lookups while preserving the
existing key construction and lookup behavior.

In `@crates/cardwire-ebpf/src/main.rs`:
- Around line 349-405: In try_fentry_iterate_dir, guard the CW_DIRENT_DEV.insert
call with a check that the current TID is present in CW_DIRENT, so only
getdents64-related directory iterations create device entries; preserve the
existing key extraction and success behavior.

In `@nix/ci-2gpu.nix`:
- Around line 7-24: Update the sandboxCollision script to verify that the
created file corresponding to inode number $1 actually has that inode, rather
than relying only on the directory entry count. After confirming the collision,
stat that file to exercise the inode_getattr and inode_permission hooks, while
preserving the existing failure behavior when the collision is not produced.

134-142: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Keep failed inode cleanup keys in retryable state.

Line 142 removes every old key from interface state before cleanup. Lines 98-101 only log a remove_inode failure. A failed removal then has no retained key for a later refresh to retry. The stale eBPF entry can block an unrelated file after the same (dev, ino) is reused.

Keep failed keys in daemon-owned retry state. Remove a key from that state only after remove_inode succeeds.

  • crates/cardwire-daemon/src/interface/debug.rs#L134-L142: transfer old keys into retryable cleanup state instead of discarding their ownership.
  • crates/cardwire-daemon/src/interface/debug.rs#L87-L102: retain each key when remove_inode fails and retry it during a later refresh.

666-736: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Two lingering hazards haunt this kernel-consulting test.

  • The skip list matches exact strings only. A FUSE mount reports its type as fuse.gvfsd-fuse, fuse.portal, or similar, so only the bare fuse and fuse.sshfs entries are filtered. The unfiltered ones reach fs::metadata, which has no timeout.
  • Line 735 asserts checked > 0. A sandbox where every mount is skipped or unreadable turns that into a red build, although /proc/self/mountinfo itself was readable.

Filter by prefix and treat a fully skipped run as a pass.

🪄 Proposed fix

-                Some(fs_type) if SKIPPED_TYPES.contains(fs_type) => continue,
