Subject: [RFC 0/4] net/tls: add support for the record size limit extension
Date: Tue, 29 Jul 2025 12:41:47 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250729024150.222513-2-wilfred.opensource@gmail.com> (raw)
From: Wilfred Mallawa <wilfred.mallawa@wdc.com>
During a tls handshake, an endpoint may specify a maximum record size limit. As
specified by [1]. which allows peers to negotiate a maximum plaintext record
size during the TLS handshake. If a TLS endpoint receives a record larger
than its advertised limit, it must send a fatal "record_overflow" alert [1].
Currently, this limit is not visble to the kernel, particularly in the case
where userspace handles the handshake (tlshd/gnutls).
This series in conjunction with the respective userspace changes for tlshd [2]
and gnutls [3], adds support for the kernel the receive the negotiated record
size limit through the existing netlink communication layer, and use this
value to limit outgoing records to the size specified.
