Subject: [PATCH] lib/ts_fsm: preserve token types when exporting patterns
Date: Sat, 31 Oct 2026 13:23:07 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261031052307.23533-1-zhiqizhangg@gmail.com> (raw)
fsm_init() replaces each token type with an internal character-class mask.
fsm_get_pattern() then returns these masks as if they were public token
types. Exporting a pattern and preparing another FSM configuration from
it can therefore change the matching behaviour or fail with -EINVAL.
For example, a single TS_FSM_DIGIT token (type 2) becomes the _D mask (4).
Preparing the exported pattern interprets 4 as TS_FSM_PRINT, so the new
configuration accepts "A" while the original rejects it. The text ematch
dump path uses textsearch_get_pattern() to return patterns to userspace.
Keep the public token types in the configuration and look up their masks
in match_token(). This preserves the exported representation without
adding another pattern allocation. Initialization still validates every
type before it can be used to index token_map.
Add KUnit coverage for exporting and recreating all token types and a
sequence with a repeated character class. Also check that exporting and
recreating the pattern leaves the original configuration usable.
I identified this issue. OpenAI Codex helped confirm it and drafted the
fix, KUnit tests and changelog. I reviewed the fix, built it and verified
that the tests passed.

Validation in isolated QEMU TCG guests:
- ARM64 GCC 13.3: the same KUnit test and config change from 2/15 passing
before the fix to 15/15 passing afterwards.
- ARM32 GCC 13.3 and ARM64 Clang 18.1.3: 15/15 passing.
- An ARM64 rtnetlink smoke test creates a basic classifier with a text
ematch, dumps it, restores its payload, and dumps it again. The DIGIT
token changes 2 -> 4 -> 151 before the fix, and stays 2 afterwards.
- W=1 for the changed objects: no warnings. Sparse reports no diagnostics
for these objects (an unchanged ARM64 vDSO object has a declaration
warning). Strict checkpatch passes after suppressing the new-file
MAINTAINERS reminder.
Packet traffic, module loading and throughput were not tested. Resolving
masks in match_token() adds a lookup on nonliteral matches.
