Subject: [PATCH 4.9 18/35] bpf: Remove MTU check in __bpf_skb_max_len

From: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@...hat.com>

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.
