[PATCH v2 0/8] Allow checking SYN cookies from XDP and tc cls act

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This series adds the necessary helpers to determine wheter a given
(encapsulated) TCP packet belongs to a connection known to the network stack.

* bpf_skc_lookup_tcp gives access to request and timewait sockets
* bpf_tcp_check_syncookie identifies the final 3WHS ACK when syncookies
  are enabled

The goal is to be able to implement load-balancing approaches like
glb-director [1] or Beamer [2] in pure eBPF. Specifically, we'd like to replace
the functionality of the glb-redirect kernel module [3] by an XDP program or
tc classifier.

Thanks to Martin KaFai Lau for his review!

Changes in v2:
* Rename bpf_sk_check_syncookie to bpf_tcp_check_syncookie.
* Add bpf_skc_lookup_tcp. Without it bpf_tcp_check_syncookie doesn't make sense.
* Check tcp_synq_no_recent_overflow() in bpf_tcp_check_syncookie.
* Check th->syn in bpf_tcp_check_syncookie.
* Require CONFIG_IPV6 to be a built in.
