Review Change Stack

Warning

Review limit reached

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

Next review available in: 29 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 file and directory identification for more reliable filtering across devices and filesystems.
    • Directory scanning now hides blocked entries directly while preserving unaffected entries.
    • Added handling for long and non-UTF-8 filenames to improve matching reliability.
  • Reliability

    • Startup now continues when optional directory-scanning capabilities are unavailable, with clear degraded-mode handling.
    • Added safeguards for directory-entry read and write failures.

Walkthrough

The change replaces device/inode identity with name/inode identity across the daemon and eBPF components. It removes the iterate_dir hook, adds verifier-safe dentry keying, and filters getdents64 entries with bpf_loop.

Changes

Inode identity and directory scanning

Layer / File(s) Summary
Name-based inode key contract
crates/cardwire-daemon/src/core/inode.rs, crates/cardwire-ebpf-userspace/src/lib.rs, crates/cardwire-ebpf/src/maps.rs
InodeKey now stores a zero-padded name and inode number. Daemon discovery paths provide explicit names. Userspace tests cover name identity, padding, and truncation.
Dentry key derivation and hook integration
crates/cardwire-ebpf/src/helpers.rs, crates/cardwire-ebpf/src/main.rs
eBPF helpers read names and inode numbers from dentries. File-open and inode-attribute hooks use dentry-derived keys.
bpf_loop directory entry scanning
crates/cardwire-ebpf/src/helpers.rs, crates/cardwire-ebpf/src/main.rs
The getdents64 exit hook scans validated entries with bpf_loop, merges blocked records, and reports read or write failures.
Tracepoint loader wiring
crates/cardwire-ebpf-userspace/src/lib.rs
The loader removes iterate_dir handling and attempts sys_exit_getdents64 unconditionally. Startup continues in weakened mode when attachment fails.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 8c3fb

The PR changes device-blocking keys and directory filtering, but the current head can still abort daemon startup on hook-attach failure, over-block unrelated files across filesystems, miss blocked aliases, and leave blocked directory entries visible or unfiltered. These are concrete availability and access-control correctness risks, so the PR is not ready to merge until they are fixed or explicitly accepted.

Inline comments:
In `@crates/cardwire-ebpf-userspace/src/lib.rs`:
- Around line 132-152: Update the cardwire_sys_exit_getdents64 load-and-attach
flow so did_sys_exit_getdents64_success is set only after attach succeeds.
Handle attach errors like load errors by logging the failure and continuing in
weakened mode instead of propagating through EbpfBlocker::new; preserve the
successful path when both operations complete.

In `@crates/cardwire-ebpf/src/helpers.rs`:
- Around line 355-371: Update the blocked-entry handling in the getdents scan
logic around scan.prev_ptr so the first blocked record is also hidden rather
than left visible when no previous record exists. Preserve the existing
previous-record reclen merge path, and implement a safe first-record strategy
that advances buffer bookkeeping or neutralizes the record’s inode/type/name so
it cannot be resolved.
- Around line 313-347: Update the directory scanning flow around scan_dirent so
a 32768-byte buffer cannot stop after 512 entries while still reporting success:
raise the bpf_loop iteration bound to cover the maximum possible dirent count,
or set an explicit failure status whenever scanning ends before scan.end. Also
set the same appropriate read-failure status on failed header reads that is used
for failed name reads, so both malformed input paths fail closed consistently.
- Around line 56-66: Update inode_permission keying so blocked-inode lookups
cannot depend solely on inode->i_dentry.first when an inode has multiple
aliases; either use an inode-only key, ensure CW_BLOCKED_INO insertion covers
every alias, or obtain the caller’s dentry from a hook that provides it.
Preserve dentry_key behavior only when the selected key is guaranteed to match
the caller path.
- Line 360: Replace the hard-coded 16-byte offset in the reclen_ptr calculation
near scan.prev_ptr with an offset derived from the linux_dirent64 type and its
d_reclen field, using the appropriate field-offset mechanism for this codebase.
Preserve the existing pointer arithmetic and write behavior while ensuring the
offset tracks the struct layout.

In `@crates/cardwire-ebpf/src/main.rs`:
- Around line 375-393: Update the bpf_loop invocation in the scan flow to use an
unsafe C callback matching the kernel prototype, with u64 as the first argument,
*mut c_void context, and i64 return type, while preserving the scan_dirent
behavior. Store the c_long result from bpf_loop, distinguish normal early
termination from zero-progress or failed scans, and log and return an error for
negative results instead of reporting success.

In `@crates/cardwire-ebpf/src/maps.rs`:
- Around line 38-48: Update InodeKey and its corresponding userspace
representation to include a parent-directory inode discriminator alongside name
and ino, and update all key construction and lookup paths to populate it from
getdents64 entries. Preserve identical #[repr(C)] field ordering and layout
across kernel and userspace so raw-byte hashing remains consistent, preventing
matching entries from different directories or filesystems from sharing a map
slot.

Apply the same fix in `@crates/cardwire-ebpf/src/maps.rs` around lines 43 - 48.

- raise the bpf_loop bound to 1366 entries (32768/24+1) so a full buffer
  can never be silently truncated, and reject records shorter than their
  own header
- restore the write errno in the exit hook's reclen log and warn on a
  negative bpf_loop return
- key builders now report why they failed: anonymous inodes (epoll,
  eventfd, dma-buf) log at debug instead of spamming errors, real probe
  read failures still log at error
- derive the d_reclen offset from the type instead of a hard-coded 16
- sys_exit/sys_enter_getdents64: attach failures now degrade to weakened
  mode instead of aborting the daemon, and the enter hook only loads
  once the exit hook is attached
