- Changes called out in patches 1-2, 4, 6, 8, 10-14, 16
- Patches dropped:
01/17 flow_dissector: Extract attach/detach/query helpers
03/17 inet: Store layer 4 protocol in inet_hashinfo
08/17 udp: Store layer 4 protocol in udp_table
v1 -> v2:
- Changes called out in patches 2, 13-15, 17
- Rebase to recent bpf-next (
b4563facdcae)
RFCv2 -> v1:
- Switch to fetching a socket from a map and selecting a socket with
bpf_sk_assign, instead of having a dedicated helper that does both.
- Run reuseport logic on sockets selected by BPF sk_lookup.
- Allow BPF sk_lookup to fail the lookup with no match.
- Go back to having just 2 hash table lookups in UDP.
RFCv1 -> RFCv2:
- Make socket lookup redirection map-based. BPF program now uses a
dedicated helper and a SOCKARRAY map to select the socket to redirect to.
A consequence of this change is that bpf_inet_lookup context is now
read-only.
- Look for connected UDP sockets before allowing redirection from BPF.
This makes connected UDP socket work as expected in the presence of
inet_lookup prog.
- Share the code for BPF_PROG_{ATTACH,DETACH,QUERY} with flow_dissector,
the only other per-netns BPF prog type.
Overview
========
This series proposes a new BPF program type named BPF_PROG_TYPE_SK_LOOKUP,
or BPF sk_lookup for short.
BPF sk_lookup program runs when transport layer is looking up a listening
socket for a new connection request (TCP), or when looking up an
unconnected socket for a packet (UDP).
This serves as a mechanism to overcome the limits of what bind() API allows
to express. Two use-cases driving this work are:
(1) steer packets destined to an IP range, fixed port to a single socket
192.0.2.0/24, port 80 -> NGINX socket
(2) steer packets destined to an IP address, any port to a single socket
198.51.100.1, any port -> L7 proxy socket
In its context, program receives information about the packet that
triggered the socket lookup. Namely IP version, L4 protocol identifier, and
address 4-tuple.
To select a socket BPF program fetches it from a map holding socket
references, like SOCKMAP or SOCKHASH, calls bpf_sk_assign(ctx, sk, ...)
helper to record the selection, and returns SK_PASS code. Transport layer
then uses the selected socket as a result of socket lookup.
Alternatively, program can also fail the lookup (SK_DROP), or let the
lookup continue as usual (SK_PASS without selecting a socket).
This lets the user match packets with listening (TCP) or receiving (UDP)
sockets freely at the last possible point on the receive path, where we
know that packets are destined for local delivery after undergoing
policing, filtering, and routing.
Program is attached to a network namespace, similar to BPF flow_dissector.
We add a new attach type, BPF_SK_LOOKUP, for this. Multiple programs can be
attached at the same time, in which case their return values are aggregated
according the rules outlined in patch #4 description.
Series structure
================
Patches are organized as so:
1: enables multiple link-based prog attachments for bpf-netns
2: introduces sk_lookup program type
3-4: hook up the program to run on ipv4/tcp socket lookup
5-6: hook up the program to run on ipv6/tcp socket lookup
7-8: hook up the program to run on ipv4/udp socket lookup
9-10: hook up the program to run on ipv6/udp socket lookup
11-13: libbpf & bpftool support for sk_lookup
14-15: verifier and selftests for sk_lookup
Patches are also available on GH:
https://github.com/jsitnicki/linux/commits/bpf-inet-lookup-v5
Follow-up work
==============
I'll follow up with below items, which IMHO don't block the review:
- benchmark results for udp6 small packet flood scenario,
- user docs for new BPF prog type, Documentation/bpf/prog_sk_lookup.rst,
- timeout for accept() in tests after extending network_helper.[ch].
