From: Petar Penkov <ppenkov@xxxxxxxxxx> This patch series introduces a BPF helper function that allows generating SYN cookies from BPF. Currently, this helper is enabled at both the TC hook and the XDP hook. The first two patches in the series add/modify several TCP helper functions to allow for SKB-less operation, as is the case at the XDP hook. The third patch introduces the bpf_tcp_gen_syncookie helper function which generates a SYN cookie for either XDP or TC programs. The return value of this function contains both the MSS value, encoded in the cookie, and the cookie itself. The last three patches sync tools/ and add a test. Changes since RFC: 1/ Cookie is returned in host order at Alexei's suggestion 2/ If cookies are not enabled via a sysctl, the helper function returns -ENOENT instead of -EINVAL at Lorenz's suggestion 3/ Fixed documentation to properly reflect that MSS is 16 bits at Lorenz's suggestion 4/ BPF helper requires TCP length to match ->doff field, rather than to simply be no more than 20 bytes at Eric and Alexei's suggestion 5/ Packet type is looked up from the packet version field, rather than from the socket. v4 packets are rejected on v6-only sockets but should work with dual stack listeners at Eric's suggestion 6/ Removed unnecessary `net` argument from helper function in patch 2 at Lorenz's suggestion 7/ Changed test to only pass MSS option so we can convince the verifier that the memory access is not out of bounds Note that 7/ below illustrates the verifier might need to be extended to allow passing a variable tcph->doff to the helper function like below: __u32 thlen = tcph->doff * 4; if (thlen < sizeof(*tcph)) return; __s64 cookie = bpf_tcp_gen_syncookie(sk, ipv4h, 20, tcph, thlen); Petar Penkov (6): tcp: tcp_syn_flood_action read port from socket tcp: add skb-less helpers to retrieve SYN cookie bpf: add bpf_tcp_gen_syncookie helper bpf: sync bpf.h to tools/ selftests/bpf: bpf_tcp_gen_syncookie->bpf_helpers selftests/bpf: add test for bpf_tcp_gen_syncookie include/net/tcp.h | 11 +++ include/uapi/linux/bpf.h | 30 ++++++- net/core/filter.c | 73 ++++++++++++++++ net/ipv4/tcp_input.c | 84 +++++++++++++++++-- net/ipv4/tcp_ipv4.c | 8 ++ net/ipv6/tcp_ipv6.c | 8 ++ tools/include/uapi/linux/bpf.h | 37 +++++++- tools/testing/selftests/bpf/bpf_helpers.h | 3 + .../bpf/progs/test_tcp_check_syncookie_kern.c | 48 +++++++++-- .../selftests/bpf/test_tcp_check_syncookie.sh | 3 + .../bpf/test_tcp_check_syncookie_user.c | 61 ++++++++++++-- 11 files changed, 344 insertions(+), 22 deletions(-) -- 2.22.0.657.g960e92d24f-goog
