Considering the metadata will affect the gro, should the meta be cleared after
importing to the skb?

Yeah, good suggestion, will clear it here.

Can the xdp prog still change the metadata through xdp->data_meta? tbh, I am not
sure it is solid enough by asking the xdp prog not to use the same random number
in its own metadata + not to change the metadata through xdp->data_meta after
calling bpf_xdp_metadata_export_to_skb().

What do you think the usecase here might be? Or are you suggesting we
reject further access to data_meta after
bpf_xdp_metadata_export_to_skb somehow?

If we want to let the programs override some of this
bpf_xdp_metadata_export_to_skb() metadata, it feels like we can add
more kfuncs instead of exposing the layout?

bpf_xdp_metadata_export_to_skb(ctx);
bpf_xdp_metadata_export_skb_hash(ctx, 1234);

After re-reading patch 6, have another question. The 'void bpf_xdp_metadata_export_to_skb();' function signature. Should it at least return ok/err? or even return a 'struct xdp_to_skb_metadata *' pointer and the xdp prog can directly read (or even write) it? A related question, why 'struct xdp_to_skb_metadata' needs __randomize_layout?




I can't think of a use case now for the xdp prog to use the xdp_to_skb_metadata while the xdp prog can directly call the kfunc (eg bpf_xdp_metadata_rx_timestamp) to get individual hint.  I was asking if patch 7 is an actual use case because it does test the tstamp in XDP_PASS or it is mostly for selftest purpose?  Yeah, may be the xdp prog will be able to change the xdp_to_skb_metadata eventually but that is for later.

My concern is the xdp prog is allowed to change xdp_to_skb_metadata or by-coincident writing metadata that matches the random and the sizeof(struct xdp_to_skb_metadata).

Also, the added opacity of xdp_to_skb_metadata (__randomize_layout + random int) is trying very hard to hide it from xdp prog.  Instead, would it be cleaner to have a flag in xdp->flags (to be set by bpf_xdp_metadata_export_to_skb?) to guard this, like one of Jesper's patch.  The xdp_convert_ctx_access() and bpf_xdp_adjust_meta() can check this bit to ensure the xdp_to_skb_metadata cannot be read and no metadata can be added/deleted after that.  btw, is it possible to keep both xdp_to_skb_metadata and the xdp_prog's metadata?  After skb_metadata_import_from_xdp popping the xdp_to_skb_metadata, the remaining xdp_prog's metatdata can still be used by the bpf-tc.

...

Does xdp_to_skb_metadata have a use case for XDP_PASS (like patch 7) or the
xdp_to_skb_metadata can be limited to XDP_REDIRECT only?

XDP_PASS cases where we convert xdp_buff into skb in the drivers right
now usually have C code to manually pull out the metadata (out of hw
desc) and put it into skb.

So, currently, if we're calling bpf_xdp_metadata_export_to_skb() for
XDP_PASS, we're doing a double amount of work:
skb_metadata_import_from_xdp first, then custom driver code second.

In theory, maybe we should completely skip drivers custom parsing when
there is a prog with BPF_F_XDP_HAS_METADATA?
Then both xdp->skb paths (XDP_PASS+XDP_REDIRECT) will be bpf-driven
and won't require any mental work (plus, the drivers won't have to
care either in the future).
 > WDYT?


Yeah, not sure if it can solely depend on BPF_F_XDP_HAS_METADATA but it makes sense to only use the hints (if ever written) from xdp prog especially if it will eventually support xdp prog changing some of the hints in the future.  For now, I think either way is fine since they are the same and the xdp prog is sort of doing extra unnecessary work anyway by calling bpf_xdp_metadata_export_to_skb() with XDP_PASS and knowing nothing can be changed now.
