This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled bpf: Remove MTU check in __bpf_skb_max_len to the 5.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: bpf-remove-mtu-check-in-__bpf_skb_max_len.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 6306c1189e77a513bf02720450bb43bd4ba5d8ae Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 9 Feb 2021 14:38:09 +0100 Subject: bpf: Remove MTU check in __bpf_skb_max_len From: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 6306c1189e77a513bf02720450bb43bd4ba5d8ae upstream. 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. This patch 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.
