The current generic XDP handler skips execution of XDP programs entirely if
an SKB is marked as cloned. This leads to some surprising behaviour, as
packets can end up being cloned in various ways, which will make an XDP
program not see all the traffic on an interface.
This was discovered by a simple test case where an XDP program that always
returns XDP_DROP is installed on a veth device. When combining this with
the Scapy packet sniffer (which uses an AF_PACKET) socket on the sending
side, SKBs reliably end up in the cloned state, causing them to be passed
through to the receiving interface instead of being dropped. A minimal
reproducer script for this is included below.
This patch fixed the issue by simply triggering the existing linearisation
code for cloned SKBs instead of skipping the XDP program execution. This
behaviour is in line with the behaviour of the native XDP implementation
for the veth driver, which will reallocate and copy the SKB data if the SKB
is marked as shared.
Reproducer Python script (requires BCC and Scapy):
from scapy.all import TCP, IP, Ether, sendp, sniff, AsyncSniffer, Raw, UDP
from bcc import BPF
import time, sys, subprocess, shlex
SKB_MODE = (1 << 1)
DRV_MODE = (1 << 2)
PYTHON=sys.executable
def client():
time.sleep(2)
# Sniffing on the sender causes skb_cloned() to be set
s = AsyncSniffer()
s.start()
for p in range(10):
sendp(Ether(dst="aa:aa:aa:aa:aa:aa", src="cc:cc:cc:cc:cc:cc")/IP()/UDP()/Raw("Test"),
verbose=False)
time.sleep(0.1)
s.stop()
return 0
def server(mode):
prog = BPF(text="int dummy_drop(struct xdp_md *ctx) {return XDP_DROP;}")
func = prog.load_func("dummy_drop", BPF.XDP)
prog.attach_xdp("a_to_b", func, mode)
time.sleep(1)
s = sniff(iface="a_to_b", count=10, timeout=15)
if len(s):
print(f"Got {len(s)} packets - should have gotten 0")
return 1
else:
print("Got no packets - as expected")
return 0
if len(sys.argv) < 2:
print(f"Usage: {sys.argv[0]} <skb|drv>")
sys.exit(1)
if sys.argv[1] == "client":
sys.exit(client())
elif sys.argv[1] == "server":
mode = SKB_MODE if sys.argv[2] == 'skb' else DRV_MODE
sys.exit(server(mode))
else:
try:
mode = sys.argv[1]
if mode not in ('skb', 'drv'):
print(f"Usage: {sys.argv[0]} <skb|drv>")
sys.exit(1)
print(f"Running in {mode} mode")

client = subprocess.Popen(shlex.split(f"ip netns exec netns_b {PYTHON} {sys.argv[0]} client"))
client.wait()
server.wait()
sys.exit(server.returncode)
finally:
subprocess.run(shlex.split("ip netns delete netns_a"))
subprocess.run(shlex.split("ip netns delete netns_b"))

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
