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. Apologies for submitting during the merge window. 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. 1: https://github.com/github/glb-director 2: https://www.usenix.org/conference/nsdi18/presentation/olteanu 3: https://github.com/github/glb-director/tree/master/src/glb-redirect Lorenz Bauer (8): bpf: track references based on is_acquire_func bpf: allow helpers to return PTR_TO_SOCK_COMMON bpf: add skc_lookup_tcp helper bpf: add helper to check for a valid SYN cookie tools: update include/uapi/linux/bpf.h selftests/bpf: allow specifying helper for BPF_SK_LOOKUP selftests/bpf: test references to sock_common selftests/bpf: add tests for bpf_tcp_check_syncookie and bpf_skc_lookup_tcp include/linux/bpf.h | 1 + include/uapi/linux/bpf.h | 36 ++- kernel/bpf/verifier.c | 33 +-- net/core/filter.c | 185 ++++++++++++++- tools/include/uapi/linux/bpf.h | 36 ++- tools/testing/selftests/bpf/.gitignore | 1 + tools/testing/selftests/bpf/Makefile | 5 +- tools/testing/selftests/bpf/bpf_helpers.h | 8 + .../bpf/progs/test_tcp_check_syncookie_kern.c | 126 +++++++++++ .../selftests/bpf/test_tcp_check_syncookie.sh | 81 +++++++ .../bpf/test_tcp_check_syncookie_user.c | 212 ++++++++++++++++++ tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_verifier.c | 6 +- .../selftests/bpf/verifier/ref_tracking.c | 126 +++++++---- tools/testing/selftests/bpf/verifier/unpriv.c | 8 +- 14 files changed, 789 insertions(+), 75 deletions(-) create mode 100644 tools/testing/selftests/bpf/progs/test_tcp_check_syncookie_kern.c create mode 100755 tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_tcp_check_syncookie.sh create mode 100644 tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_tcp_check_syncookie_user.c -- 2.19.1
