Hello eBPFers,
I have a use case where I would like to store sk_buff pointers as kptrs in
eBPF map. To do so, I am borrowing skb kfuncs for acquire/release/destroy
from Amery Hung's bpf qdisc set [0], but they are registered for
BPF_PROG_TYPE_SCHED_CLS programs.
TL;DR - due to following callstack:
do_check()
check_kfunc_call()
check_kfunc_args()
get_kfunc_ptr_arg_type()
btf_is_prog_ctx_type()
btf_is_projection_of() -- return true
sk_buff argument is being interpreted as KF_ARG_PTR_TO_CTX, but what we
have there is KF_ARG_PTR_TO_BTF_ID. Verifier is unhappy about it. Should
this be workarounded via some typedef or adding mentioned kfuncs to
special_kfunc_list ? If the latter, then what else needs to be handled?
Commenting out sk_buff part from btf_is_projection_of() makes it work, but
that probably is not a solution:)
Another question is in case bpf qdisc set lands, could we have these
kfuncs not being limited to BPF_PROG_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS ?
I would be thankful for any pointers/stions regarding this issue.
Maciej
