2017-11-21bpf: revert report offload info to user spaceJakub Kicinski1-6/+0
This reverts commit bd601b6ada11 ("bpf: report offload info to user space"). The ifindex by itself is not sufficient, we should provide information on which network namespace this ifindex belongs to. After considering some options we concluded that it's best to just remove this API for now, and rework it in -next.

bpf_target_prog seems long and clunky, rename it to prog_ifindex. We don't want to call this field just ifindex, because maps may need a similar field in the future and bpf_attr members for programs and maps are unnamed.

2017-11-11bpf: add a bpf_override_function helperJosef Bacik1-1/+6
Error injection is sloppy and very ad-hoc. BPF could fill this niche perfectly with it's kprobe functionality. We could make sure errors are only triggered in specific call chains that we care about with very specific situations. Accomplish this with the bpf_override_funciton helper. This will modify the probe'd callers return value to the specified value and set the PC to an override function that simply returns, bypassing the originally probed function. This gives us a nice clean way to implement systematic error injection for all of our code paths.

2017-11-05bpf, cgroup: implement eBPF-based device controller for cgroup v2Roman Gushchin1-0/+15
Cgroup v2 lacks the device controller, provided by cgroup v1. This patch adds a new eBPF program type, which in combination of previously added ability to attach multiple eBPF programs to a cgroup, will provide a similar functionality, but with some additional flexibility. This patch introduces a BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_DEVICE program type. A program takes major and minor device numbers, device type (block/character) and access type (mknod/read/write) as parameters and returns an integer which defines if the operation should be allowed or terminated with -EPERM.

2017-11-05bpf: offload: add infrastructure for loading programs for a specific netdevJakub Kicinski1-0/+1
The fact that we don't know which device the program is going to be used on is quite limiting in current eBPF infrastructure. We have to reverse or limit the changes which kernel makes to the loaded bytecode if we want it to be offloaded to a networking device. We also have to invent new APIs for debugging and troubleshooting support. Make it possible to load programs for a specific netdev. This helps us to bring the debug information closer to the core eBPF infrastructure (e.g. we will be able to reuse the verifer log in device JIT). It allows device JITs to perform translation on the original bytecode. __bpf_prog_get() when called to get a reference for an attachment point will now refuse to give it if program has a device assigned. Following patches will add a version of that function which passes the expected netdev in. @type argument in __bpf_prog_get() is renamed to attach_type to make it clearer that it's only set on attachment. All calls to ndo_bpf are protected by rtnl, only verifier callbacks are not. We need a wait queue to make sure netdev doesn't get destroyed while verifier is still running and calling its driver.

2017-11-02Merge tag 'spdx_identifiers-4.14-rc8' of ↵Linus Torvalds1-0/+1
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core Pull initial SPDX identifiers from Greg KH: "License cleanup: add SPDX license identifiers to some files Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with a licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman1-0/+1
Many user space API headers have licensing information, which is either incomplete, badly formatted or just a shorthand for referring to the license under which the file is supposed to be. This makes it hard for compliance tools to determine the correct license. Update these files with an SPDX license identifier. The identifier was chosen based on the license information in the file. GPL/LGPL licensed headers get the matching GPL/LGPL SPDX license identifier with the added 'WITH Linux-syscall-note' exception, which is the officially assigned exception identifier for the kernel syscall exception: NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work". This exception makes it possible to include GPL headers into non GPL code, without confusing license compliance tools. Headers which have either explicit dual licensing or are just licensed under a non GPL license are updated with the corresponding SPDX identifier and the GPLv2 with syscall exception identifier. The format is: ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR SPDX-ID-OF-OTHER-LICENSE) SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. The update does not remove existing license information as this has to be done on a case by case basis and the copyright holders might have to be consulted. This will happen in a separate step. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. See the previous patch in this series for the methodology of how this patch was researched.

2017-10-29bpf: rename sk_actions to align with bpf infrastructureJohn Fastabend1-3/+3
Recent additions to support multiple programs in cgroups impose a strict requirement, "all yes is yes, any no is no". To enforce this the infrastructure requires the 'no' return code, SK_DROP in this case, to be 0. To apply these rules to SK_SKB program types the sk_actions return codes need to be adjusted. This fix adds SK_PASS and makes 'SK_DROP = 0'. Finally, remove SK_ABORTED to remove any chance that the API may allow aborted program flows to be passed up the stack. This would be incorrect behavior and allow programs to break existing policies.

2017-10-22bpf: add support for BPF_SOCK_OPS_BASE_RTTLawrence Brakmo1-0/+7
A congestion control algorithm can make a call to the BPF socket_ops program to request the base RTT. The base RTT can be congestion control dependent and is meant to represent a congestion threshold such that RTTs above it indicate congestion. This is especially useful for flows within a DC where the base RTT is easy to obtain. Being provided a base RTT solves a basic problem in RTT based congestion avoidance algorithms (such as Vegas, NV and BBR). Although it is easy to get the base RTT when the network is not congested, it is very diffcult to do when it is very congested. Newer connections get an inflated value of the base RTT leading to unfariness (newer flows with a larger base RTT get more bandwidth). As a result, RTT based congestion avoidance algorithms tend to update their base RTTs to improve fairness. In very congested networks this can lead to base RTT inflation, reducing the ability of these RTT based congestion control algorithms to prevent congestion. Note that in my experiments with TCP-NV, the base RTT provided can be much larger than the actual hardware RTT. For example, experimenting with hosts within a rack where the hardware RTT is 16-20us, I've used base RTTs up to 150us. The effect of using a larger base RTT is that the congestion avoidance algorithm will allow more queueing. When there are only a few flows the main effect is larger measured RTTs and RPC latencies due to the increased queueing. When there are a lot of flows, a larger base RTT can lead to more congestion and more packet drops. For this case, where the hardware RTT is 20us, a base RTT of 80us produces good results. This patch only introduces BPF_SOCK_OPS_BASE_RTT, a later patch in this set adds support for using it in TCP-NV. Further study and testing is needed before support can be added to other delay based congestion avoidance algorithms.

2017-10-08bpf: add helper bpf_perf_event_read_value for perf event array mapYonghong Song1-2/+19
Hardware pmu counters are limited resources. When there are more pmu based perf events opened than available counters, kernel will multiplex these events so each event gets certain percentage (but not 100%) of the pmu time. In case that multiplexing happens, the number of samples or counter value will not reflect the case compared to no multiplexing. This makes comparison between different runs difficult. Typically, the number of samples or counter value should be normalized before comparing to other experiments. The typical normalization is done like: normalized_num_samples = num_samples * time_enabled / time_running normalized_counter_value = counter_value * time_enabled / time_running where time_enabled is the time enabled for event and time_running is the time running for event since last normalization. This patch adds helper bpf_perf_event_read_value for kprobed based perf event array map, to read perf counter and enabled/running time. The enabled/running time is accumulated since the perf event open. To achieve scaling factor between two bpf invocations, users can can use cpu_id as the key (which is typical for perf array usage model) to remember the previous value and do the calculation inside the bpf program.

The difference between three possible flags for BPF_PROG_ATTACH command: - NONE(default): No further bpf programs allowed in the subtree. - BPF_F_ALLOW_OVERRIDE: If a sub-cgroup installs some bpf program, the program in this cgroup yields to sub-cgroup program. - BPF_F_ALLOW_MULTI: If a sub-cgroup installs some bpf program, that cgroup program gets run in addition to the program in this cgroup. NONE and BPF_F_ALLOW_OVERRIDE existed before. This patch doesn't change their behavior. It only clarifies the semantics in relation to new flag. Only one program is allowed to be attached to a cgroup with NONE or BPF_F_ALLOW_OVERRIDE flag. Multiple programs are allowed to be attached to a cgroup with BPF_F_ALLOW_MULTI flag. They are executed in FIFO order (those that were attached first, run first) The programs of sub-cgroup are executed first, then programs of this cgroup and then programs of parent cgroup.

2017-09-26bpf: add meta pointer for direct accessDaniel Borkmann1-1/+12
This work enables generic transfer of metadata from XDP into skb. The basic idea is that we can make use of the fact that the resulting skb must be linear and already comes with a larger headroom for supporting bpf_xdp_adjust_head(), which mangles xdp->data. Here, we base our work on a similar principle and introduce a small helper bpf_xdp_adjust_meta() for adjusting a new pointer called xdp->data_meta. Thus, the packet has a flexible and programmable room for meta data, followed by the actual packet data. struct xdp_buff is therefore laid out that we first point to data_hard_start, then data_meta directly prepended to data followed by data_end marking the end of packet. bpf_xdp_adjust_head() takes into account whether we have meta data already prepended and if so, memmove()s this along with the given offset provided there's enough room. xdp->data_meta is optional and programs are not required to use it. The rationale is that when we process the packet in XDP (e.g. as DoS filter), we can push further meta data along with it for the XDP_PASS case, and give the guarantee that a clsact ingress BPF program on the same device can pick this up for further post-processing. Since we work with skb there, we can also set skb->mark, skb->priority or other skb meta data out of BPF, thus having this scratch space generic and programmable allows for more flexibility than defining a direct 1:1 transfer of potentially new XDP members into skb (it's also more efficient as we don't need to initialize/handle each of such new members). The facility also works together with GRO aggregation. The scratch space at the head of the packet can be multiple of 4 byte up to 32 byte large. Drivers not yet supporting xdp->data_meta can simply be set up with xdp->data_meta as xdp->data + 1 as bpf_xdp_adjust_meta() will detect this and bail out, such that the subsequent match against xdp->data for later access is guaranteed to fail. The verifier treats xdp->data_meta/xdp->data the same way as we treat xdp->data/xdp->data_end pointer comparisons. The requirement for doing the compare against xdp->data is that it hasn't been modified from it's original address we got from ctx access. It may have a range marking already from prior successful xdp->data/xdp->data_end pointer comparisons though.

2017-09-09bpf: make error reporting in bpf_warn_invalid_xdp_action more clearDaniel Borkmann1-2/+2
Differ between illegal XDP action code and just driver unsupported one to provide better feedback when we throw a one-time warning here. Reason is that with 814abfabef3c ("xdp: add bpf_redirect helper function") not all drivers support the new XDP return code yet and thus they will fall into their 'default' case when checking for return codes after program return, which then triggers a bpf_warn_invalid_xdp_action() stating that the return code is illegal, but from XDP perspective it's not. I decided not to place something like a XDP_ACT_MAX define into uapi i) given we don't have this either for all other program types, ii) future action codes could have further encoding there, which would render such define unsuitable and we wouldn't be able to rip it out again, and iii) we rarely add new action codes.

2017-08-28bpf: sockmap, remove STRPARSER map_flags and add multi-map supportJohn Fastabend1-3/+0
The addition of map_flags BPF_SOCKMAP_STRPARSER flags was to handle a specific use case where we want to have BPF parse program disabled on an entry in a sockmap. However, Alexei found the API a bit cumbersome and I agreed. Lets remove the STRPARSER flag and support the use case by allowing socks to be in multiple maps. This allows users to create two maps one with programs attached and one without. When socks are added to maps they now inherit any programs attached to the map. This is a nice generalization and IMO improves the API. The API rules are less ambiguous and do not need a flag: - When a sock is added to a sockmap we have two cases, i. The sock map does not have any attached programs so we can add sock to map without inheriting bpf programs. The sock may exist in 0 or more other maps. ii. The sock map has an attached BPF program. To avoid duplicate bpf programs we only add the sock entry if it does not have an existing strparser/verdict attached, returning -EBUSY if a program is already attached. Otherwise attach the program and inherit strparser/verdict programs from the sock map. This allows for socks to be in a multiple maps for redirects and inherit a BPF program from a single map. Also this patch simplifies the logic around BPF_{EXIST|NOEXIST|ANY} flags. In the original patch I tried to be extra clever and only update map entries when necessary. Now I've decided the complexity is not worth it. If users constantly update an entry with the same sock for no reason (i.e. update an entry without actually changing any parameters on map or sock) we still do an alloc/release. Using this and allowing multiple entries of a sock to exist in a map the logic becomes much simpler. Note: Now that multiple maps are supported the "maps" pointer called when a socket is closed becomes a list of maps to remove the sock from. To keep the map up to date when a sock is added to the sockmap we must add the map/elem in the list. Likewise when it is removed we must remove it from the list. This results in searching the per psock list on delete operation. On TCP_CLOSE events we walk the list and remove the psock from all map/entry locations. I don't see any perf implications in this because at most I have a psock in two maps. If a psock were to be in many maps its possibly this might be noticeable on delete but I can't think of a reason to dup a psock in many maps. The sk_callback_lock is used to protect read/writes to the list. This was convenient because in all locations we were taking the lock anyways just after working on the list. Also the lock is per sock so in normal cases we shouldn't see any contention.

2017-08-20bpf: Allow selecting numa node during map creationMartin KaFai Lau1-1/+9
The current map creation API does not allow to provide the numa-node preference. The memory usually comes from where the map-creation-process is running. The performance is not ideal if the bpf_prog is known to always run in a numa node different from the map-creation-process. One of the use case is sharding on CPU to different LRU maps (i.e. an array of LRU maps). Here is the test result of map_perf_test on the INNER_LRU_HASH_PREALLOC test if we force the lru map used by CPU0 to be allocated from a remote numa node: [ The machine has 20 cores.

2017-08-16bpf: sockmap with sk redirect supportJohn Fastabend1-1/+32
Recently we added a new map type called dev map used to forward XDP packets between ports (6093ec2dc313). This patches introduces a similar notion for sockets. A sockmap allows users to add participating sockets to a map. When sockets are added to the map enough context is stored with the map entry to use the entry with a new helper bpf_sk_redirect_map(map, key, flags) This helper (analogous to bpf_redirect_map in XDP) is given the map and an entry in the map. When called from a sockmap program, discussed below, the skb will be sent on the socket using skb_send_sock(). With the above we need a bpf program to call the helper from that will then implement the send logic. The initial site implemented in this series is the recv_sock hook. For this to work we implemented a map attach command to add attributes to a map. In sockmap we add two programs a parse program and a verdict program. The parse program uses strparser to build messages and pass them to the verdict program. The parse programs use the normal strparser semantics. The verdict program is of type SK_SKB. The verdict program returns a verdict SK_DROP, or SK_REDIRECT for now. Additional actions may be added later. When SK_REDIRECT is returned, expected when bpf program uses bpf_sk_redirect_map(), the sockmap logic will consult per cpu variables set by the helper routine and pull the sock entry out of the sock map. This pattern follows the existing redirect logic in cls and xdp programs. This gives the flow, recv_sock -> str_parser (parse_prog) -> verdict_prog -> skb_send_sock \ -> kfree_skb As an example use case a message based load balancer may use specific logic in the verdict program to select the sock to send on. Sample programs are provided in future patches that hopefully illustrate the user interfaces. Also selftests are in follow-on patches.

2017-08-10bpf: add BPF_J{LT,LE,SLT,SLE} instructionsDaniel Borkmann1-0/+5
Currently, eBPF only understands BPF_JGT (>), BPF_JGE (>=), BPF_JSGT (s>), BPF_JSGE (s>=) instructions, this means that particularly *JLT/*JLE counterparts involving immediates need to be rewritten from e.g. X < [IMM] by swapping arguments into [IMM] > X, meaning the immediate first is required to be loaded into a register Y := [IMM], such that then we can compare with Y > X. Note that the destination operand is always required to be a register. This has the downside of having unnecessarily increased register pressure, meaning complex program would need to spill other registers temporarily to stack in order to obtain an unused register for the [IMM]. Loading to registers will thus also affect state pruning since we need to account for that register use and potentially those registers that had to be spilled/filled again. As a consequence slightly more stack space might have been used due to spilling, and BPF programs are a bit longer due to extra code involving the register load and potentially required spill/fills. Thus, add BPF_JLT (<), BPF_JLE (<=), BPF_JSLT (s<), BPF_JSLE (s<=) counterparts to the eBPF instruction set. Modifying LLVM to remove the NegateCC() workaround in a PoC patch at [1] and allowing it to also emit the new instructions resulted in cilium's BPF programs that are injected into the fast-path to have a reduced program length in the range of 2-3% (e.g. accumulated main and tail call sections from one of the object file reduced from 4864 to 4729 insns), reduced complexity in the range of 10-30% (e.g. accumulated sections reduced in one of the cases from 116432 to 88428 insns), and reduced stack usage in the range of 1-5% (e.g. accumulated sections from one of the object files reduced from 824 to 784b). The modification for LLVM will be incorporated in a backwards compatible way. Plan is for LLVM to have i) a target specific option to offer a possibility to explicitly enable the extension by the user (as we have with -m target specific extensions today for various CPU insns), and ii) have the kernel checked for presence of the extensions and enable them transparently when the user is selecting more aggressive options such as -march=native in a bpf target context. (Other frontends generating BPF byte code, e.g. ply can probe the kernel directly for its code generation.)

2017-07-02bpf: BPF support for sock_opsLawrence Brakmo1-0/+30
Created a new BPF program type, BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCK_OPS, and a corresponding struct that allows BPF programs of this type to access some of the socket's fields (such as IP addresses, ports, etc.). It uses the existing bpf cgroups infrastructure so the programs can be attached per cgroup with full inheritance support. The program will be called at appropriate times to set relevant connections parameters such as buffer sizes, SYN and SYN-ACK RTOs, etc., based on connection information such as IP addresses, port numbers, etc. Alghough there are already 3 mechanisms to set parameters (sysctls, route metrics and setsockopts), this new mechanism provides some distinct advantages. Unlike sysctls, it can set parameters per connection. In contrast to route metrics, it can also use port numbers and information provided by a user level program. In addition, it could set parameters probabilistically for evaluation purposes (i.e. do something different on 10% of the flows and compare results with the other 90% of the flows). Also, in cases where IPv6 addresses contain geographic information, the rules to make changes based on the distance (or RTT) between the hosts are much easier than route metric rules and can be global. Finally, unlike setsockopt, it oes not require application changes and it can be updated easily at any time. Although the bpf cgroup framework already contains a sock related program type (BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SOCK), I created the new type (BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCK_OPS) beccause the existing type expects to be called only once during the connections's lifetime. In contrast, the new program type will be called multiple times from different places in the network stack code. For example, before sending SYN and SYN-ACKs to set an appropriate timeout, when the connection is established to set congestion control, etc. As a result it has "op" field to specify the type of operation requested. The purpose of this new program type is to simplify setting connection parameters, such as buffer sizes, TCP's SYN RTO, etc. For example, it is easy to use facebook's internal IPv6 addresses to determine if both hosts of a connection are in the same datacenter. Therefore, it is easy to write a BPF program to choose a small SYN RTO value when both hosts are in the same datacenter. This patch only contains the framework to support the new BPF program type, following patches add the functionality to set various connection parameters. This patch defines a new BPF program type: BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCKET_OPS and a new bpf syscall command to load a new program of this type: BPF_PROG_LOAD_SOCKET_OPS. Two new corresponding structs (one for the kernel one for the user/BPF program): /* kernel version */ struct bpf_sock_ops_kern { struct sock *sk; __u32 op; union { __u32 reply; __u32 replylong[4]; }; }; /* user version * Some fields are in network byte order reflecting the sock struct * Use the bpf_ntohl helper macro in samples/bpf/bpf_endian.h to * convert them to host byte order. */ struct bpf_sock_ops { __u32 op; union { __u32 reply; __u32 replylong[4]; }; __u32 family; __u32 remote_ip4; /* In network byte order */ __u32 local_ip4; /* In network byte order */ __u32 remote_ip6[4]; /* In network byte order */ __u32 local_ip6[4]; /* In network byte order */ __u32 remote_port; /* In network byte order */ __u32 local_port; /* In host byte horder */ }; Currently there are two types of ops. The first type expects the BPF program to return a value which is then used by the caller (or a negative value to indicate the operation is not supported). The second type expects state changes to be done by the BPF program, for example through a setsockopt BPF helper function, and they ignore the return value. The reply fields of the bpf_sockt_ops struct are there in case a bpf program needs to return a value larger than an integer.
