From 04b3f8de4b6d90758938a40303c0ee9a86bcb8ab Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Borkmann Date: Mon, 12 Sep 2016 23:38:42 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] bpf: drop unnecessary test in cls_bpf_classify and tcf_bpf The skb_mac_header_was_set() test in cls_bpf's and act_bpf's fast-path is actually unnecessary and can be removed altogether. This was added by commit a166151cbe33 ("bpf: fix bpf helpers to use skb->mac_header relative offsets"), which was later on improved by 3431205e0397 ("bpf: make programs see skb->data == L2 for ingress and egress"). We're always guaranteed to have valid mac header at the time we invoke cls_bpf_classify() or tcf_bpf(). Reason is that since 6d1ccff62780 ("net: reset mac header in dev_start_xmit()") we do skb_reset_mac_header() in __dev_queue_xmit() before we could call into sch_handle_egress() or any subsequent enqueue. sch_handle_ingress() always sees a valid mac header as well (things like skb_reset_mac_len() would badly fail otherwise). Thus, drop the unnecessary test in classifier and action case. Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann Acked-by: Alexei Starovoitov Signed-off-by: David S.
