    bpf: create tcp_bpf_ulp allowing BPF to monitor socket TX/RX data · 4f738adb
    John Fastabend 提交于
    This implements a BPF ULP layer to allow policy enforcement and
    monitoring at the socket layer. In order to support this a new
    program type BPF_PROG_TYPE_SK_MSG is used to run the policy at
    the sendmsg/sendpage hook. To attach the policy to sockets a
    sockmap is used with a new program attach type BPF_SK_MSG_VERDICT.
    
    Similar to previous sockmap usages when a sock is added to a
    sockmap, via a map update, if the map contains a BPF_SK_MSG_VERDICT
    program type attached then the BPF ULP layer is created on the
    socket and the attached BPF_PROG_TYPE_SK_MSG program is run for
    every msg in sendmsg case and page/offset in sendpage case.
    
    BPF_PROG_TYPE_SK_MSG Semantics/API:
    
    BPF_PROG_TYPE_SK_MSG supports only two return codes SK_PASS and
    SK_DROP. Returning SK_DROP free's the copied data in the sendmsg
    case and in the sendpage case leaves the data untouched. Both cases
    return -EACESS to the user. Returning SK_PASS will allow the msg to
    be sent.
    
    In the sendmsg case data is copied into kernel space buffers before
    running the BPF program. The kernel space buffers are stored in a
    scatterlist object where each element is a kernel memory buffer.
    Some effort is made to coalesce data from the sendmsg call here.
    For example a sendmsg call with many one byte iov entries will
    likely be pushed into a single entry. The BPF program is run with
    data pointers (start/end) pointing to the first sg element.
    
    In the sendpage case data is not copied. We opt not to copy the
    data by default here, because the BPF infrastructure does not
    know what bytes will be needed nor when they will be needed. So
    copying all bytes may be wasteful. Because of this the initial
    start/end data pointers are (0,0). Meaning no data can be read or
    written. This avoids reading data that may be modified by the
    user. A new helper is added later in this series if reading and
    writing the data is needed. The helper call will do a copy by
    default so that the page is exclusively owned by the BPF call.
    
    The verdict from the BPF_PROG_TYPE_SK_MSG applies to the entire msg
    in the sendmsg() case and the entire page/offset in the sendpage case.
    This avoids ambiguity on how to handle mixed return codes in the
    sendmsg case. Again a helper is added later in the series if
    a verdict needs to apply to multiple system calls and/or only
    a subpart of the currently being processed message.
    
    The helper msg_redirect_map() can be used to select the socket to
    send the data on. This is used similar to existing redirect use
    cases. This allows policy to redirect msgs.
    
    Pseudo code simple example:
    
    The basic logic to attach a program to a socket is as follows,
    
      // load the programs
      bpf_prog_load(SOCKMAP_TCP_MSG_PROG, BPF_PROG_TYPE_SK_MSG,
    		&obj, &msg_prog);
    
      // lookup the sockmap
      bpf_map_msg = bpf_object__find_map_by_name(obj, "my_sock_map");
    
      // get fd for sockmap
      map_fd_msg = bpf_map__fd(bpf_map_msg);
    
      // attach program to sockmap
      bpf_prog_attach(msg_prog, map_fd_msg, BPF_SK_MSG_VERDICT, 0);
    
    Adding sockets to the map is done in the normal way,
    
      // Add a socket 'fd' to sockmap at location 'i'
      bpf_map_update_elem(map_fd_msg, &i, fd, BPF_ANY);
    
    After the above any socket attached to "my_sock_map", in this case
    'fd', will run the BPF msg verdict program (msg_prog) on every
    sendmsg and sendpage system call.
    
    For a complete example see BPF selftests or sockmap samples.
    
    Implementation notes:
    
    It seemed the simplest, to me at least, to use a refcnt to ensure
    psock is not lost across the sendmsg copy into the sg, the bpf program
    running on the data in sg_data, and the final pass to the TCP stack.
    Some performance testing may show a better method to do this and avoid
    the refcnt cost, but for now use the simpler method.
    
    Another item that will come after basic support is in place is
    supporting MSG_MORE flag. At the moment we call sendpages even if
    the MSG_MORE flag is set. An enhancement would be to collect the
    pages into a larger scatterlist and pass down the stack. Notice that
    bpf_tcp_sendmsg() could support this with some additional state saved
    across sendmsg calls. I built the code to support this without having
    to do refactoring work. Other features TBD include ZEROCOPY and the
    TCP_RECV_QUEUE/TCP_NO_QUEUE support. This will follow initial series
    shortly.
    
    Future work could improve size limits on the scatterlist rings used
    here. Currently, we use MAX_SKB_FRAGS simply because this was being
    used already in the TLS case. Future work could extend the kernel sk
    APIs to tune this depending on workload. This is a trade-off
    between memory usage and throughput performance.
