Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v5 0/5] Support defragmenting IPv(4|6) packets in BPF

=== Context ===

In the context of a middlebox, fragmented packets are tricky to handle.
The full 5-tuple of a packet is often only available in the first
fragment which makes enforcing consistent policy difficult. There are
really only two stateless options, neither of which are very nice:

1. Enforce policy on first fragment and accept all subsequent fragments.
   This works but may let in certain attacks or allow data exfiltration.

2. Enforce policy on first fragment and drop all subsequent fragments.
   This does not really work b/c some protocols may rely on
   fragmentation. For example, DNS may rely on oversized UDP packets for
   large responses.

So stateful tracking is the only sane option. RFC 8900 [0] calls this
out as well in section 6.3:

    Middleboxes [...] should process IP fragments in a manner that is
    consistent with [RFC0791] and [RFC8200]. In many cases, middleboxes
    must maintain state in order to achieve this goal.

=== BPF related bits ===

Policy has traditionally been enforced from XDP/TC hooks. Both hooks
run before kernel reassembly facilities. However, with the new
BPF_PROG_TYPE_NETFILTER, we can rather easily hook into existing
netfilter reassembly infra.

The basic idea is we bump a refcnt on the netfilter defrag module and
then run the bpf prog after the defrag module runs. This allows bpf
progs to transparently see full, reassembled packets. The nice thing
about this is that progs don't have to carry around logic to detect
fragments.

=== Changelog ===

Changes from v4:

* Refactor module handling code to not sleep in rcu_read_lock()
* Also unify the v4 and v6 hook structs so they can share codepaths
* Fixed some checkpatch.pl formatting warnings

Changes from v3:

* Correctly initialize `addrlen` stack var for recvmsg()

Changes from v2:

* module_put() if ->enable() fails
* Fix CI build errors

Changes from v1:

* Drop bpf_program__attach_netfilter() patches
* static -> static const where appropriate
* Fix callback assignment order during registration
* Only request_module() if callbacks are missing
* Fix retval when modprobe fails in userspace
* Fix v6 defrag module name (nf_defrag_ipv6_hooks -> nf_defrag_ipv6)
* Simplify priority checking code
* Add warning if module doesn't assign callbacks in the future
* Take refcnt on module while defrag link is active
