Multiple BPF-helpers that can manipulate/increase the size of the SKB uses __bpf_skb_max_len() as the max-length. This function limit size against the current net_device MTU (skb->dev->mtu). When a BPF-prog grow the packet size, then it should not be limited to the MTU. The MTU is a transmit limitation, and software receiving this packet should be allowed to increase the size. Further more, current MTU check in __bpf_skb_max_len uses the MTU from ingress/current net_device, which in case of redirects uses the wrong net_device. Patch V4 keeps a sanity max limit of SKB_MAX_ALLOC (16KiB). The real limit is elsewhere in the system. Jesper's testing[1] showed it was not possible to exceed 8KiB when expanding the SKB size via BPF-helper. The limiting factor is the define KMALLOC_MAX_CACHE_SIZE which is 8192 for SLUB-allocator (CONFIG_SLUB) in-case PAGE_SIZE is 4096. This define is in-effect due to this being called from softirq context see code __gfp_pfmemalloc_flags() and __do_kmalloc_node(). Jakub's testing showed that frames above 16KiB can cause NICs to reset (but not crash). Keep this sanity limit at this level as memory layer can differ based on kernel config.
