2015-06-07bpf: allow programs to write to certain skb fieldsAlexei Starovoitov
allow programs read/write skb->mark, tc_index fields and ((struct qdisc_skb_cb *)cb)->data. mark and tc_index are generically useful in TC. cb[0]-cb[4] are primarily used to pass arguments from one program to another called via bpf_tail_call() which can be seen in sockex3_kern.c example. All fields of 'struct __sk_buff' are readable to socket and tc_cls_act progs. mark, tc_index are writeable from tc_cls_act only. cb[0]-cb[4] are writeable by both sockets and tc_cls_act. Add verifier tests and improve sample code. Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@plumgrid.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2015-05-21samples/bpf: bpf_tail_call example for networkingAlexei Starovoitov
Usage: $ sudo ./sockex3 IP src.port -> dst.port bytes packets 127.0.0.1.42010 -> 127.0.0.1.12865 1568 8 127.0.0.1.59526 -> 127.0.0.1.33778 11422636 173070 127.0.0.1.33778 -> 127.0.0.1.59526 11260224828 341974 127.0.0.1.12865 -> 127.0.0.1.42010 1832 12 IP src.port -> dst.port bytes packets 127.0.0.1.42010 -> 127.0.0.1.12865 1568 8 127.0.0.1.59526 -> 127.0.0.1.33778 23198092 351486 127.0.0.1.33778 -> 127.0.0.1.59526 22972698518 698616 127.0.0.1.12865 -> 127.0.0.1.42010 1832 12 this example is similar to sockex2 in a way that it accumulates per-flow statistics, but it does packet parsing differently. sockex2 inlines full packet parser routine into single bpf program. This sockex3 example have 4 independent programs that parse vlan, mpls, ip, ipv6 and one main program that starts the process. bpf_tail_call() mechanism allows each program to be small and be called on demand potentially multiple times, so that many vlan, mpls, ip in ip, gre encapsulations can be parsed. These and other protocol parsers can be added or removed at runtime. TLVs can be parsed in similar manner. Note, tail_call_cnt dynamic check limits the number of tail calls to 32.
