Will this struct be extended in the future?

Not that i can think of. We probably want to have the option to do so
if needed. Do you see any harm if we were to make changes for whatever
reason in the future?

It will be useful to add an argument named with "__sz" suffix to the kfunc.
Take a look at how the kfunc in nf_conntrack_bpf.c is handling the "opts" and "opts__sz" argument in its kfunc.

The argument could be "struct sk_buff *skb" instead of __sk_buff. Take a look at
commit 2f4643934670.

We'll make that change.

My understanding is this kfunc will allocate a "struct
p4tc_table_entry_act_bpf_kern" object. If the bpf_p4tc_entry_delete() kfunc is
never called and the bpf prog is unloaded, how the act_bpf object will be
cleaned up?


The TC code takes care of this. Unloading the bpf prog does not affect
the deletion, it is the TC control side that will take care of it. If
we delete the pipeline otoh then not just this entry but all entries
will be flushed.

It looks like the "struct p4tc_table_entry_act_bpf_kern" object is allocated by the bpf prog through kfunc and will only be useful for the bpf prog but not other parts of the kernel. However, if the bpf prog is unloaded, these bpf specific objects will be left over in the kernel until the tc pipeline (where the act_bpf_kern object resided) is gone.

It is the expectation on bpf prog (not only tc/xdp bpf prog) about resources clean up that these bpf objects will be gone after unloading the bpf prog and unpinning its bpf map.

+BTF_SET8_START(p4tc_kfunc_check_tbl_set_skb)

This soon will be broken with the latest change in bpf-next. It is replaced by
BTF_KFUNCS_START. commit a05e90427ef6.

It has already been included in the latest bpf-next pull-request, so should reach net-next soon.



Ok, this wasnt in net-next when we pushed. We base our changes on
net-next. When do you plan to merge that into net-next?

What is the plan on the selftest ?


We may need some guidance. How do you see us writing a selftest for this?
We have extensive testing on the control side which is netlink (not
part of the current series).

There are examples in tools/testing/selftests/bpf, e.g. the test_bpf_nf.c to test the kfuncs in nf_conntrack_bpf mentioned above. There are also selftests doing netlink to setup the test. The bpf/test_progs tries to avoid external dependency as much as possible, so linking to an extra external library and using an extra tool/binary will be unacceptable.
and only the bpf/test_progs binary will be run by bpf CI.

The selftest does not have to be complicated. It can exercise the kfunc and show how the new struct (e.g. struct p4tc_table_entry_bpf_*) will be used. There is BPF_PROG_RUN for the tc and xdp prog, so should be quite doable.
