Copyright Red Hat3 4==============================================5BPF_MAP_TYPE_SOCKMAP and BPF_MAP_TYPE_SOCKHASH6==============================================7 8.. note::9 - ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_SOCKMAP`` was introduced in kernel version 4.1410 - ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_SOCKHASH`` was introduced in kernel version 4.1811 12``BPF_MAP_TYPE_SOCKMAP`` and ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_SOCKHASH`` maps can be used to13redirect skbs between sockets or to apply policy at the socket level based on14the result of a BPF (verdict) program with the help of the BPF helpers15``bpf_sk_redirect_map()``, ``bpf_sk_redirect_hash()``,16``bpf_msg_redirect_map()`` and ``bpf_msg_redirect_hash()``.17 18``BPF_MAP_TYPE_SOCKMAP`` is backed by an array that uses an integer key as the19index to look up a reference to a ``struct sock``. The map values are socket20descriptors. Similarly, ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_SOCKHASH`` is a hash backed BPF map that21holds references to sockets via their socket descriptors.22 23.. note::24 The value type is either __u32 or __u64; the latter (__u64) is to support25 returning socket cookies to userspace. Returning the ``struct sock *`` that26 the map holds to user-space is neither safe nor useful.27 28These maps may have BPF programs attached to them, specifically a parser program29and a verdict program. The parser program determines how much data has been30parsed and therefore how much data needs to be queued to come to a verdict. The31verdict program is essentially the redirect program and can return a verdict32of ``__SK_DROP``, ``__SK_PASS``, or ``__SK_REDIRECT``.33 34When a socket is inserted into one of these maps, its socket callbacks are35replaced and a ``struct sk_psock`` is attached to it. Additionally, this36``sk_psock`` inherits the programs that are attached to the map.37 38A sock object may be in multiple maps, but can only inherit a single39parse or verdict program. If adding a sock object to a map would result40in having multiple parser programs the update will return an EBUSY error.41 42The supported programs to attach to these maps are:43 44.. code-block:: c45 46 struct sk_psock_progs {47 struct bpf_prog *msg_parser;48 struct bpf_prog *stream_parser;49 struct bpf_prog *stream_verdict;50 struct bpf_prog *skb_verdict;51 };52 53.. note::54 Users are not allowed to attach ``stream_verdict`` and ``skb_verdict``55 programs to the same map.56 57The attach types for the map programs are:58 59- ``msg_parser`` program - ``BPF_SK_MSG_VERDICT``.60- ``stream_parser`` program - ``BPF_SK_SKB_STREAM_PARSER``.61- ``stream_verdict`` program - ``BPF_SK_SKB_STREAM_VERDICT``.62- ``skb_verdict`` program - ``BPF_SK_SKB_VERDICT``.63 64There are additional helpers available to use with the parser and verdict65programs: ``bpf_msg_apply_bytes()`` and ``bpf_msg_cork_bytes()``. With66``bpf_msg_apply_bytes()`` BPF programs can tell the infrastructure how many67bytes the given verdict should apply to. The helper ``bpf_msg_cork_bytes()``68handles a different case where a BPF program cannot reach a verdict on a msg69until it receives more bytes AND the program doesn't want to forward the packet70until it is known to be good.71 72Finally, the helpers ``bpf_msg_pull_data()`` and ``bpf_msg_push_data()`` are73available to ``BPF_PROG_TYPE_SK_MSG`` BPF programs to pull in data and set the74start and end pointers to given values or to add metadata to the ``struct75sk_msg_buff *msg``.76 77All these helpers will be described in more detail below.78 79Usage80=====81Kernel BPF82----------83bpf_msg_redirect_map()84^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^85.. code-block:: c86 87 long bpf_msg_redirect_map(struct sk_msg_buff *msg, struct bpf_map *map, u32 key, u64 flags)88 89This helper is used in programs implementing policies at the socket level.

If170the message ``msg`` is allowed to pass (i.e., if the verdict BPF program returns171``SK_PASS``), redirect it to the socket referenced by ``map`` (of type172``BPF_MAP_TYPE_SOCKHASH``) using hash ``key``. Both ingress and egress173interfaces can be used for redirection. The ``BPF_F_INGRESS`` value in174``flags`` is used to select the ingress path otherwise the egress path is175selected. This is the only flag supported for now.176 177Returns ``SK_PASS`` on success, or ``SK_DROP`` on error.178 179bpf_sk_redirect_hash()180^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^181.. code-block:: c182 183 long bpf_sk_redirect_hash(struct sk_buff *skb, struct bpf_map *map, void *key, u64 flags)184 185This helper is used in programs implementing policies at the skb socket level.186If the sk_buff ``skb`` is allowed to pass (i.e., if the verdict BPF program187returns ``SK_PASS``), redirect it to the socket referenced by ``map`` (of type188``BPF_MAP_TYPE_SOCKHASH``) using hash ``key``.

For example, this helper can be used in the203following cases:204 205- A single ``sendmsg()`` or ``sendfile()`` system call contains multiple206 logical messages that the BPF program is supposed to read and for which it207 should apply a verdict.208- A BPF program only cares to read the first ``bytes`` of a ``msg``. If the209 message has a large payload, then setting up and calling the BPF program210 repeatedly for all bytes, even though the verdict is already known, would211 create unnecessary overhead.212 213Returns 0214 215bpf_msg_cork_bytes()216^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^217.. code-block:: c218 219 long bpf_msg_cork_bytes(struct sk_msg_buff *msg, u32 bytes)220 221For socket policies, prevent the execution of the verdict BPF program for222message ``msg`` until the number of ``bytes`` have been accumulated.223 224This can be used when one needs a specific number of bytes before a verdict can225be assigned, even if the data spans multiple ``sendmsg()`` or ``sendfile()``226calls.227 228Returns 0229 230bpf_msg_pull_data()231^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^232.. code-block:: c233 234 long bpf_msg_pull_data(struct sk_msg_buff *msg, u32 start, u32 end, u64 flags)235 236For socket policies, pull in non-linear data from user space for ``msg`` and set237pointers ``msg->data`` and ``msg->data_end`` to ``start`` and ``end`` bytes238offsets into ``msg``, respectively.239 240If a program of type ``BPF_PROG_TYPE_SK_MSG`` is run on a ``msg`` it can only241parse data that the (``data``, ``data_end``) pointers have already consumed.242For ``sendmsg()`` hooks this is likely the first scatterlist element. But for243calls relying on MSG_SPLICE_PAGES (e.g., ``sendfile()``) this will be the244range (**0**, **0**) because the data is shared with user space and by default245the objective is to avoid allowing user space to modify data while (or after)246BPF verdict is being decided. This helper can be used to pull in data and to247set the start and end pointers to given values. Data will be copied if248necessary (i.e., if data was not linear and if start and end pointers do not249point to the same chunk).250 251A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlying packet buffer.252Therefore, at load time, all checks on pointers previously done by the verifier253are invalidated and must be performed again, if the helper is used in254combination with direct packet access.255 256All values for ``flags`` are reserved for future usage, and must be left at257zero.258 259Returns 0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.260 261bpf_map_lookup_elem()262^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^263 264.. code-block:: c265 266 void *bpf_map_lookup_elem(struct bpf_map *map, const void *key)267 268Look up a socket entry in the sockmap or sockhash map.269 270Returns the socket entry associated to ``key``, or NULL if no entry was found.271 272bpf_map_update_elem()273^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^274.. code-block:: c275 276 long bpf_map_update_elem(struct bpf_map *map, const void *key, const void *value, u64 flags)277 278Add or update a socket entry in a sockmap or sockhash.279 280The flags argument can be one of the following:281 282- BPF_ANY: Create a new element or update an existing element.283- BPF_NOEXIST: Create a new element only if it did not exist.284- BPF_EXIST: Update an existing element.285 286Returns 0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.287 288bpf_map_delete_elem()289^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^290.. code-block:: c291 292 long bpf_map_delete_elem(struct bpf_map *map, const void *key)293 294Delete a socket entry from a sockmap or a sockhash.295 296Returns 0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.297 298User space299----------300bpf_map_update_elem()301^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^302.. code-block:: c303 304 int bpf_map_update_elem(int fd, const void *key, const void *value, __u64 flags)305 306Sockmap entries can be added or updated using the ``bpf_map_update_elem()``307function. The ``key`` parameter is the index value of the sockmap array. And the308``value`` parameter is the FD value of that socket.309 310Under the hood, the sockmap update function uses the socket FD value to311retrieve the associated socket and its attached psock.312
