The first patch of this series is an improvement to the existing syncookie BPF helper. The second patch is a documentation fix. The third patch allows BPF helpers to accept memory regions of fixed size without doing runtime size checks. The two last patches add new functionality that allows XDP to accelerate iptables synproxy. v1 of this series [1] used to include a patch that exposed conntrack lookup to BPF using stable helpers. It was superseded by series [2] by Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi, which implements this functionality using unstable helpers. The fourth patch adds new helpers to issue and check SYN cookies without binding to a socket, which is useful in the synproxy scenario. The fifth patch adds a selftest, which consists of a script, an XDP program and a userspace control application. The XDP program uses socketless SYN cookie helpers and queries conntrack status instead of socket status. The userspace control application allows to tune parameters of the XDP program. This program also serves as a minimal example of usage of the new functionality. The draft of the new functionality was presented on Netdev 0x15 [3]. v2 changes: Split into two series, submitted bugfixes to bpf, dropped the conntrack patches, implemented the timestamp cookie in BPF using bpf_loop, dropped the timestamp cookie patch. v3 changes: Moved some patches from bpf to bpf-next, dropped the patch that changed error codes, split the new helpers into IPv4/IPv6, added verifier functionality to accept memory regions of fixed size. v4 changes: Converted the selftest to the test_progs runner. Replaced some deprecated functions in xdp_synproxy userspace helper.
