Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 0/5] bpf: BPF for lightweight tunnel encapsulation
{Open question:
Tom brought up the question on whether it is safe to modify the packet
in artbirary ways before dst_output(). This is the equivalent to a raw
socket injecting illegal headers. This v2 currently assumes that
dst_output() is ready to accept invalid header values. This needs to be
verified and if not the case, then raw sockets or dst_output() handlers
must be fixed as well. Another option is to mark lwtunnel_output() as
read-only for now.}
This series implements BPF program invocation from dst entries via the
lightweight tunnels infrastructure. The BPF program can be attached to
lwtunnel_input(), lwtunnel_output() or lwtunnel_xmit() and sees an L3
skb as context. input is read-only, output can write, xmit can write,
push headers, and redirect.
Motiviation for this work:
- Restricting outgoing routes beyond what the route tuple supports
- Per route accounting byond realms
- Fast attachment of L2 headers where header does not require resolving
L2 addresses
- ILA like uses cases where L3 addresses are resolved and then routed
in an async manner
- Fast encapsulation + redirect. For now limited to use cases where not
setting inner and outer offset/protocol is OK.
A couple of samples on how to use it can be found in patch 04.
v1 -> v2:
- Added new BPF_LWT_REROUTE return code for program to indicate
that new route lookup should be performed. Suggested by Tom.
- New sample to illustrate rerouting
- New patch 05: Recursion limit for lwtunnel_output for the case
when user creates circular dst redirection. Also resolves the
issue for ILA.
- Fix to ensure headroom for potential future L2 header is still
guaranteed
Thomas Graf (5):
route: Set orig_output when redirecting to lwt on locally generated
traffic
route: Set lwtstate for local traffic and cached input dsts
bpf: BPF for lightweight tunnel encapsulation
bpf: Add samples for LWT-BPF
lwtunnel: Limit number of recursions on output to 5
