Strparser is reusing the qdisc_skb_cb struct to stash the skb message handling
progress, e.g. offset and length of the skb. First this is poorly named and
inherits a struct from qdisc that doesn't reflect the actual usage of cb[] at
this layer.
But, more importantly strparser is using the following to access its metadata.
(struct _strp_msg *)((void *)skb->cb + offsetof(struct qdisc_skb_cb, data))
Where _strp_msg is defined as:
struct _strp_msg {
struct strp_msg strp; /* 0 8 */
int accum_len; /* 8 4 */
/* size: 12, cachelines: 1, members: 2 */
/* last cacheline: 12 bytes */
};
So we use 12 bytes of ->data[] in struct. However in BPF code running parser
and verdict the user has read capabilities into the data[] array as well. Its
not too problematic, but we should not be exposing internal state to BPF
program. If its really needed then we can use the probe_read() APIs which allow
reading kernel memory. And I don't believe cb[] layer poses any API breakage by
moving this around because programs can't depend on cb[] across layers.
In order to fix another issue with a ctx rewrite we need to stash a temp
variable somewhere. To make this work cleanly this patch builds a cb struct
for sk_skb types called sk_skb_cb struct. Then we can use this consistently
in the strparser, sockmap space. Additionally we can start allowing ->cb[]
write access after this.
