Their key feature is parsing the packet. Look at libpcap it can parse weird protocols that kernel doesn't even know about. Theoretically we can pass hard_header_len/network_offset/starting_offset into bpf program and add this offset everywhere. It would mean that LD_ABS instruction becomes useless and performance immediately drops. We cannot use libpcap and pretty much all existing classic and extended bpf programs, since they assume starting at L2 and parsing its way. That is awful already, but more importantly this l2 vs l3 or ingress vs egress qdisc exposes this kernel specific difference to user space. bpf programs should know nothing about the kernel. They should only see packet + metadata. So network_offset+-off style of access for bpf programs is non starter. It's perfectly fine for other classifiers/actions because their are part of the kernel. Reading through the thread looks like the only option is to add 'needs_l2' flag to ingress qdisc and if it's there do skb_share_check and push. Also add similar flags to classifier/actions and only allow them to be added to such ingress qdisc if flags match. It's a bit intrusive, but won't cost any performance for existing users. Another alternative is in cls_bpf do: if(skb_shared) return -1; else push L2 and run the program. This way if tap is added to the interface with ingress+bpf the programs will stop working as soon as tap is added. That's not great, but very small isolated change. My preference is to add 'needs_l2' flag to ingress qdisc.
