[PATCH bpf-next v1 0/4] bpf: add icmp_send_unreach kfunc

[PATCH bpf-next v1 0/4] bpf: add icmp_send_unreach kfunc

[Mahe Tardy]

Hello,

This is v1 of adding the icmp_send_unreach kfunc, as suggested during
LSF/MM/BPF 2025[^1]. The goal is to allow cgroup_skb programs to
actively reject east-west traffic, similarly to what is possible to do
with netfilter reject target.

The first step to implement this is using ICMP control messages, with
the ICMP_DEST_UNREACH type with various code ICMP_NET_UNREACH,
ICMP_HOST_UNREACH, ICMP_PROT_UNREACH, etc. This is easier to implement
than a TCP RST reply and will already hint the client TCP stack to abort
the connection and not retry extensively.

Note that this is different than the sock_destroy kfunc, that along
calls tcp_abort and thus sends a reset, destroying the underlying
socket.

Caveats of this design are that a cgroup_skb program can call this
function N times, and thus send N ICMP unreach control messages, and
that the program can also finish the BPF filter with SK_PASS leading to
a potential confusing situation where the TCP connection was established
while the client receive ICMP_DEST_UNREACH messages.

Other design ideas (to prevent above issues) could be:
* Extend the return codes for the cgroup_skb program to trigger the
  reject after completion (SK_REJECT).
* Adding a kfunc to set the kernel to send an ICMP_HOST_UNREACH control
  message with appropriate code when the cgroup_skb program eventually
  terminates with SK_DROP.

We should bear in mind that we want to extend this with TCP reset next.
Please tell me what's your opinion on above ideas: if adding new return
codes could be considered and/or the other alternatives would be better
than this patch series and thus proposed instead.

v1 updates (from Daniel's offline review):
- rename netfilter moved functions to ip(6)_route_reply_fetch_dst;
- explain why nf_ip(6)_route are replaced with core route functions;
- remove useless IP frag checks;
- add KF_TRUSTED_ARGS to the kfunc;
- simplify declarations of structs, initialize fd to -1 in tests;
- insist on why SK_PASS is easier for testing in BPF prog.

[PATCH bpf-next v1 1/4] net: move netfilter nf_reject_fill_skb_dst to core ipv4

[Mahe Tardy]

Move and rename nf_reject_fill_skb_dst from
ipv4/netfilter/nf_reject_ipv4 to ip_route_reply_fetch_dst in
ipv4/route.c so that it can be reused in the following patches by BPF
kfuncs.

Netfilter uses nf_ip_route that is almost a transparent wrapper around
ip_route_output_key so this patch inlines it.

[PATCH bpf-next v1 3/4] bpf: add bpf_icmp_send_unreach cgroup_skb kfunc

[Mahe Tardy]

This is needed in the context of Tetragon to provide improved feedback
(in contrast to just dropping packets) to east-west traffic when blocked
by policies using cgroup_skb programs.

This reuse concepts from netfilter reject target codepath with the
differences that:
* Packets are cloned since the BPF user can still return SK_PASS from
  the cgroup_skb progs and the current skb need to stay untouched
  (cgroup_skb hooks only allow read-only skb payload).
* Since cgroup_skb programs are called late in the stack, checksums do
  not need to be computed or verified, and IPv4 fragmentation does not
  need to be checked (ip_local_deliver should take care of that
  earlier).

Does it have to be restricted to BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SKB ?
Can it be a part of bpf_kfunc_set_skb[] and used more generally ?

If restriction is necessary then I guess we can live with extra
bpf_kfunc_set_icmp_send_unreach, though it's odd to create a set
just for one kfunc.
Either way don't change the last 'return ...' line in this file.
Add 'ret = ret ?: register...' instead to reduce churn.

Also cc netdev and netfilter maintainers in v2.

From the assumptions that have been made to write the kfunc in this
state yes, it has to be restricted to cgroup_skb. We would need
additional checks for hooks that are earlier in the stack I think.

Keeping in mind that this kfunc is not a necessity for other prog types
which can already overwrite packets, like TC.

Yes to both.

Aside, could I have your opinion on this part of the cover letter before
I proceed to fix these patches:

These two ideas would make it more natural for cgroup_skb progs but
would prevent someone to extend it to more prog types in the future.

[PATCH bpf-next v1 0/4] bpf: add icmp_send_unreach kfunc

[Mahe Tardy]

Hello,

This is v2 of adding the icmp_send_unreach kfunc, as suggested during
LSF/MM/BPF 2025[^1]. The goal is to allow cgroup_skb programs to
actively reject east-west traffic, similarly to what is possible to do
with netfilter reject target.

The first step to implement this is using ICMP control messages, with
the ICMP_DEST_UNREACH type with various code ICMP_NET_UNREACH,
ICMP_HOST_UNREACH, ICMP_PROT_UNREACH, etc. This is easier to implement
than a TCP RST reply and will already hint the client TCP stack to abort
the connection and not retry extensively.

Note that this is different than the sock_destroy kfunc, that along
calls tcp_abort and thus sends a reset, destroying the underlying
socket.

Caveats of this kfunc design are that a cgroup_skb program can call this
function N times, thus send N ICMP unreach control messages and that the
program can return from the BPF filter with SK_PASS leading to a
potential confusing situation where the TCP connection was established
while the client received ICMP_DEST_UNREACH messages.

Another more sophisticated design idea would be for the kfunc to set the
kernel to send an ICMP_HOST_UNREACH control message with the appropriate
code when the cgroup_skb program terminates with SK_DROP. Creating a new
'SK_REJECT' return code for cgroup_skb program was generally rejected
and would be too limited for other program types support.

We should bear in mind that we want to add a TCP reset kfunc next and
also could extend this kfunc to other program types if wanted.

v2 updates:
- fix a build error from a missing function call rename;
- avoid changing return line in bpf_kfunc_init;
- return SK_DROP from the kfunc (similarly to bpf_redirect);
- check the return value in the selftest.

[PATCH bpf-next v2 1/4] net: move netfilter nf_reject_fill_skb_dst to core ipv4

[Mahe Tardy]

Move and rename nf_reject_fill_skb_dst from
ipv4/netfilter/nf_reject_ipv4 to ip_route_reply_fetch_dst in
ipv4/route.c so that it can be reused in the following patches by BPF
kfuncs.

Netfilter uses nf_ip_route that is almost a transparent wrapper around
ip_route_output_key so this patch inlines it.

[PATCH bpf-next v2 3/4] bpf: add bpf_icmp_send_unreach cgroup_skb kfunc

[Mahe Tardy]

This is needed in the context of Tetragon to provide improved feedback
(in contrast to just dropping packets) to east-west traffic when blocked
by policies using cgroup_skb programs.

This reuse concepts from netfilter reject target codepath with the
differences that:
* Packets are cloned since the BPF user can still return SK_PASS from
  the cgroup_skb progs and the current skb need to stay untouched
  (cgroup_skb hooks only allow read-only skb payload).
* Since cgroup_skb programs are called late in the stack, checksums do
  not need to be computed or verified, and IPv4 fragmentation does not
  need to be checked (ip_local_deliver should take care of that
  earlier).

[PATCH bpf-next v3 0/4] bpf: add icmp_send_unreach kfunc

[Mahe Tardy]

Hello,

This is v3 of adding the icmp_send_unreach kfunc, as suggested during
LSF/MM/BPF 2025[^1]. The goal is to allow cgroup_skb programs to
actively reject east-west traffic, similarly to what is possible to do
with netfilter reject target.

The first step to implement this is using ICMP control messages, with
the ICMP_DEST_UNREACH type with various code ICMP_NET_UNREACH,
ICMP_HOST_UNREACH, ICMP_PROT_UNREACH, etc. This is easier to implement
than a TCP RST reply and will already hint the client TCP stack to abort
the connection and not retry extensively.

Note that this is different than the sock_destroy kfunc, that along
calls tcp_abort and thus sends a reset, destroying the underlying
socket.

Caveats of this kfunc design are that a cgroup_skb program can call this
function N times, thus send N ICMP unreach control messages and that the
program can return from the BPF filter with SK_PASS leading to a
potential confusing situation where the TCP connection was established
while the client received ICMP_DEST_UNREACH messages.

Another more sophisticated design idea would be for the kfunc to set the
kernel to send an ICMP_HOST_UNREACH control message with the appropriate
code when the cgroup_skb program terminates with SK_DROP. Creating a new
'SK_REJECT' return code for cgroup_skb program was generally rejected
and would be too limited for other program types support.

We should bear in mind that we want to add a TCP reset kfunc next and
also could extend this kfunc to other program types if wanted.

v2 updates:
- fix a build error from a missing function call rename;
- avoid changing return line in bpf_kfunc_init;
- return SK_DROP from the kfunc (similarly to bpf_redirect);
- check the return value in the selftest.

v3 update:
- fix an undefined reference build error.

[PATCH bpf-next v3 1/4] net: move netfilter nf_reject_fill_skb_dst to core ipv4

[Mahe Tardy]

Move and rename nf_reject_fill_skb_dst from
ipv4/netfilter/nf_reject_ipv4 to ip_route_reply_fetch_dst in
ipv4/route.c so that it can be reused in the following patches by BPF
kfuncs.

Netfilter uses nf_ip_route that is almost a transparent wrapper around
ip_route_output_key so this patch inlines it.

This is needed in the context of Tetragon to provide improved feedback

This reuse concepts from netfilter reject target codepath with the

  (cgroup_skb hooks only allow read-only skb payload).
* Since cgroup_skb programs are called late in the stack, checksums do
  not need to be computed or verified, and IPv4 fragmentation does not
  need to be checked (ip_local_deliver should take care of that

This needs more details. Which field(s) of the skb are changed by the kfunc, the 
skb_dst_set in ip[6]_route_reply_fetch_dst() and/or the code path in the 
icmp[v6]_send() ?

 From a very quick look at icmpv6_send(), it does its own route lookup. I 
haven't looked at the v4 yet.

I am likely missing some details. Can you explain why it needs to do a lookup 
before calling icmpv6_send()?

Okay I can add that: "ip[6]_route_reply_fetch_dst set the dst of the skb
by using the saddr as a daddr and routing it", I don't think
icmp[v6]_send touches the skb?

From my understanding, I need to do this to invert the daddr with the
saddr to send the unreach message back to the sender.

I also don't think icmp[v6]_send touches the skb. I am still not sure if 
ip[6]_route_reply_fetch_dst is needed.

 From looking at how fl6.{daddr,saddr} are filled and passed to 
icmpv6_route_lookup in icmpv6_send(), the icmpv6_send() should have done the 
reverse/invert route lookup. I also don't see icmpv6_send uses the skb_dst() of 
the original skb. Did I misread the code? The kfunc does not work without 
ip[6]_route_reply_fetch_dst()? Again, I have not checked the v4 icmp_send. fwiw, 
the selftest should have both v4 and v6 test.

Note that at cgroup/egress, the skb->_skb_refdst should have been set.

The same should be true for cgroup/ingress for inet proto but it seems 
BPF_CGROUP_RUN_PROG_"INET"_INGRESS is not called from INET only now. e.g. 
sk_filter() can be called from af_netlink. It seems like there is a bug.

[PATCH bpf-next v3 4/4] selftests/bpf: add icmp_send_unreach kfunc tests

[Mahe Tardy]

This test opens a server and client, attach a cgroup_skb program on
egress and calls the icmp_send_unreach function from the client egress
so that an ICMP unreach control message is sent back to the client.
It then fetches the message from the error queue to confirm the correct
ICMP unreach code has been sent.

Note that the BPF program returns SK_PASS to let the connection being
established to finish the test cases quicker. Otherwise, you have to
wait for the TCP three-way handshake to timeout in the kernel and
retrieve the errno translated from the unreach code set by the ICMP
control message.

Otherwise if client_fd = 1, goto for_cleanup will close(1).

The above two lines are not necessary since client_fd is

Yep, must have been a leftover from when I was discovering the

I'm sending a v4 with those fixed + fixing the builds error when IPv6 is
built as a module from the kfunc patch. Thanks for the review.

I tried to write my understanding of this in the commit description:

"Note that the BPF program returns SK_PASS to let the connection being
established to finish the test cases quicker. Otherwise, you have to
wait for the TCP three-way handshake to timeout in the kernel and
retrieve the errno translated from the unreach code set by the ICMP
control message."

I added this comment because I already had some (offline) feedback that
this looked off, maybe I should develop and put this here directly.

This feels like a bit hacky to let the 3WHS finished while the objective of the 
patch set is to drop it. It is not unusual for people to directly borrow this 
code. Does non blocking connect() help?

After reading more on how sk_err_soft is used, non blocking won't help. I think 
I see why tcp rst is better.

Actually, while replying on the cover letter and looking at tcp_v4_err again, 
there is an exception to do ip_icmp_error for TCP_SYN_SENT, so it may worth a 
try on non blocking connect and then poll the sk for err if you haven't tried 
that before.

small nit: Any reason why ICMP_DEST_UNREACH, ICMP_FRAG_NEEDED, and
NR_ICMP_UNREACH are redefined here? I think you should just be able to
#include <linux/icmp.h> this at the top to avoid redefining these.

It might be worth testing that the kfunc returns -EINVAL when the code
is outside the accepted range as well for completeness.

Some high level questions.

Which other program types do you need this kfunc to send icmp and the future tcp 
rst?

This cover letter mentioned sending icmp unreach is easier than sending tcp rst. 
What problems do you see in sending tcp rst?

I don't really know, I mostly need this in cgroup_skb for my use case
but I could see other programs type using this either for simplification
(for progs that can already rewrite the packet, like tc) or other
programs types like cgroup_skb, because they can't touch the packet
themselves.

Yes, I based these patches on what net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_REJECT.c's
'reject_tg' function does. In the case of sending ICMP unreach
'nf_send_unreach', the routing step is quite straighforward as they are
only inverting the daddr and the saddr (that's what my renamed/moved
ip_route_reply_fetch_dst helper does).

In the case of sending RST 'nf_send_reset', there are extra steps, first
the same routing mechanism is done by just inverting the daddr and the
saddr but later 'ip_route_me_harder' is called which is doing a lot
more. I'm currently not sure which parts of this must be ported to work
in our BPF use case so I wanted to start with unreach.

I also don't think the tc needs this kfunc either. The tc should already have 
ways to do this now.

I don't think we necessarily need to completely borrow from nf, the hooks' 
locations are different and the use case may be different.

A concern that I have is the icmp6_send called by the kfunc. The icmp6_send 
should eventually call to ip6_finish_output which may call the very same 
"cgroup/egress" program again in a recursive way. The same for v4 icmp_send.

The icmp packet is sent from an internal kernel sk. I suspect you will see this 
recursive behavior if the test is done in the default cgroup (/sys/fs/cgroup). I 
think the is_ineligible(skb) should have stopped the second icmpv6_send from 
replying to an icmp error and the cgroup hook cannot change the skb. However, I 
am not sure I want to cross this bridge. Is there a way to avoid the recursive 
bpf prog?

Thanks Martin for the review. Indeed the recursive BPF prog call is a
concerning issue. I'll take some time to think about it and hopefully
propose something.

[PATCH bpf-next v4 0/6] bpf: add icmp_send_unreach kfunc

[Mahe Tardy]

Hello,

This is v4 of adding the icmp_send_unreach kfunc, as suggested during
LSF/MM/BPF 2025[^1]. The goal is to allow cgroup_skb programs to
actively reject east-west traffic, similarly to what is possible to do
with netfilter reject target.

The first step to implement this is using ICMP control messages, with
the ICMP_DEST_UNREACH type with various code ICMP_NET_UNREACH,
ICMP_HOST_UNREACH, ICMP_PROT_UNREACH, etc. This is easier to implement
than a TCP RST reply and will already hint the client TCP stack to abort
the connection and not retry extensively.

Note that this is different than the sock_destroy kfunc, that along
calls tcp_abort and thus sends a reset, destroying the underlying
socket.

Caveats of this kfunc design are that a program can call this function N
times, thus send N ICMP unreach control messages and that the program
can return from the BPF filter with pass leading to a potential
confusing situation where the TCP connection was established while the
client received ICMP_DEST_UNREACH messages.

Initially, this kfunc was added only to cgroup_skb programs, Alexei
suggested not creating its own kfunc set and adding it to the more
global bpf_kfunc_set_skb. Now that recursion is handled and I realized,
thanks to Martin, that fetching the dst route might be only useful in
situation in which the packet was not yet routed, I decided to extend
the kfunc to more program types and route the packet only if needed.

v2 updates:
- fix a build error from a missing function call rename;
- avoid changing return line in bpf_kfunc_init;
- return SK_DROP from the kfunc (similarly to bpf_redirect);
- check the return value in the selftest.

v3 update:
- fix an undefined reference build error.

v4 updates:
- prevent the kfunc to be called recursively and add a test (thanks to
  Martin).
- do not fetch dst route when unnecessary (thanks to Martin).
- extend the test for IPv6 (thanks to Martin).
- use SK_DROP in examples and use non blocking sockets for testing
  (thanks to Martin).
- test when the kfunc returns -EINVAL (thanks to Jordan).
- add the kfunc to bpf_kfunc_set_skb as suggested by Alexei.
- guard the IPv4 parts with IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_INET).
- fix a wrong initial value for client_fd (thanks to Yonghong).
- add documentation to the kfunc.
- to Jordan: I couldn't include <linux/icmp.h> because of redefines from
  <network_helpers.h>.

[PATCH bpf-next v4 1/6] net: move netfilter nf_reject_fill_skb_dst to core ipv4

[Mahe Tardy]

Move and rename nf_reject_fill_skb_dst from
ipv4/netfilter/nf_reject_ipv4 to ip_route_reply_fetch_dst in
ipv4/route.c so that it can be reused in the following patches by BPF
kfuncs.

Netfilter uses nf_ip_route that is almost a transparent wrapper around
ip_route_output_key so this patch inlines it.

Is ip_route_reply_fetch_dst() actually needed before calling icmp_send()?

Martin KaFai Lau raised this question in v3 of the patch series and
noted that icmpv6_send() does its own route lookup and doesn't use
skb_dst() of the original skb. He also pointed out that at
cgroup/egress, skb->_skb_refdst should already be set.

Looking at icmpv6_send(), the fl6.{daddr,saddr} are filled and passed
to icmpv6_route_lookup, which performs the reverse/invert route lookup.
The function doesn't appear to use skb_dst() of the original skb.

Since this patch moves ip_route_reply_fetch_dst() from netfilter to
core specifically for the BPF kfunc, can you clarify why this routing
step is necessary? Does the kfunc not work without
ip[6]_route_reply_fetch_dst()?

Yes I replied to this in the cover letter, let me quote it:

Initially, this kfunc was added only to cgroup_skb programs, Alexei
suggested not creating its own kfunc set and adding it to the more
global bpf_kfunc_set_skb. Now that recursion is handled and I realized,
thanks to Martin, that fetching the dst route might be only useful in
situation in which the packet was not yet routed, I decided to extend
the kfunc to more program types and route the packet only if needed.

So in short, if we decide to go back to cgroup_skb only, we can remove
this, if we expand to other program types like we do, it still makes
sense to do it.

net: move netfilter nf_reject_fill_skb_dst to core ipv4

This patch moves and renames nf_reject_fill_skb_dst to
ip_route_reply_fetch_dst in ipv4/route.c to allow reuse by BPF kfuncs.
It also inlines the nf_ip_route wrapper around ip_route_output_key.

This isn't a bug, but does the name ip_route_reply_fetch_dst imply a read-only
operation? Since it mutates the SKB by setting the destination via
skb_dst_set(), could this lead to callers accidentally overwriting and
leaking existing destinations?

Would a name like ip_route_reply_fill_skb_dst better reflect its side effects?

> +{
> +	struct rtable *rt;
> +	struct flowi4 fl4 = {
> +		.daddr = ip_hdr(skb)->saddr

Can this lead to an out-of-bounds read?

Now that this is exported for BPF kfuncs, it can be reached from early
hooks like TC ingress where the IPv4 header might not be linearized yet.

If a malformed packet contains less than sizeof(struct iphdr) bytes of
linear data, does accessing ->saddr require validation via
pskb_may_pull() or similar?

> +	};
> +

Can skb->dev be NULL here?

While safe in its original netfilter context, a BPF_PROG_TYPE_NETFILTER
program attached to the NF_INET_LOCAL_OUT hook will receive locally
generated SKBs before skb->dev is assigned (e.g., in __ip_local_out before
ip_output).

Does dev_net(skb->dev) need a check to prevent a kernel panic when called
from such contexts?

[PATCH bpf-next v4 2/6] net: move netfilter nf_reject6_fill_skb_dst to core ipv6

[Mahe Tardy]

Move and rename nf_reject6_fill_skb_dst from
ipv6/netfilter/nf_reject_ipv6 to ip6_route_reply_fetch_dst in
ipv6/route.c so that it can be reused in the following patches by BPF
kfuncs.

Netfilter uses nf_ip6_route that is almost a transparent wrapper around
ip6_route_output so this patch inlines it.

Is it possible for the IPv6 header to span paged fragments here?

If the packet header isn't guaranteed to be in the linear data area, and
there are no linearization checks like pskb_may_pull() before accessing
ipv6_hdr(), could this read out-of-bounds memory or cause a page fault
when processing undersized or fragmented packets supplied by BPF programs?

> +	};
> +	int err;
> +

Could skb->dev be NULL in contexts where this function will be used?

Since this is being exported for use by BPF kfuncs, it might be called from
program types where the device reference is not retained, such as socket
filters. If skb->dev is NULL in these contexts, won't dev_net(skb->dev)
cause a NULL pointer dereference?

[PATCH bpf-next v4 3/6] bpf: add bpf_icmp_send_unreach kfunc

[Mahe Tardy]

This is needed in the context of Tetragon to provide improved feedback
(in contrast to just dropping packets) to east-west traffic when blocked
by policies using cgroup_skb programs.

This reuse concepts from netfilter reject target codepath with the
differences that:
* Packets are cloned since the BPF user can still let the packet pass
  (SK_PASS from the cgroup_skb progs for example) and the current skb
  need to stay untouched (cgroup_skb hooks only allow read-only skb
  payload). The kfunc set the dst of the cloned skb by using the saddr
  as the daddr and routing it.
* Checksums are not computed or verified and IPv4 fragmentation is not
  checked early (icmp_send will check).
* We protect against recursion since the kfunc, by generating an ICMP
  error message could retrigger the BPF prog that invoked it.

Is the route lookup needed here? Looking at icmpv6_send() in
net/ipv6/icmp.c, it fills fl6.{daddr,saddr} and passes them to
icmpv6_route_lookup() which performs its own route lookup. The function
doesn't appear to use skb_dst() from the original skb:

icmpv6_send() {
    ...
    fl6.daddr = hdr->saddr;
    fl6.saddr = saddr;
    ...
    dst = icmpv6_route_lookup(net, skb, sk, &fl6);
    ...
}

The same applies to the IPv4 path with icmp_send(). Additionally, at
cgroup/egress the skb->_skb_refdst should already be set, and the same
should be true for cgroup/ingress for inet proto.

Does the kfunc work without ip_route_reply_fetch_dst() and
ip6_route_reply_fetch_dst()? If so, can these calls be removed?

Same reply as https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/aeYkdKm7B4NQ3BDo@gmail.com/,
too bad the LLM can't access the cover letter.

Re: [PATCH bpf-next v4 3/6] bpf: add bpf_icmp_send_unreach kfunc

[sashiko-bot]

Sashiko AI review found 4 potential issue(s):
- [Critical] Unchecked `skb->dev` leads to a guaranteed NULL pointer dereference and kernel panic.
- [High] Missing SKB header linearization and bounds validation before accessing IP/IPv6 headers.
- [High] Uninitialized SKB control block (`skb->cb`) causes memory corruption and info leaks via IP options parsing.
- [High] Ad-hoc synchronization with the per-CPU flag `bpf_icmp_send_in_progress` causes false-positive failures and bypasses recursion protection under preemption.

bpf: add bpf_icmp_send_unreach kfunc

This commit introduces the bpf_icmp_send_unreach kfunc to allow BPF programs
to send ICMP destination unreachable messages. It clones the original SKB to
ensure the packet can still proceed unmodified if desired, and includes a
per-CPU flag to prevent recursion.

BPF programs can run in preemptible contexts, such as when running with
migrate_disable() and rcu_read_lock(). Is it possible for a task to be
preempted between checking and setting this flag, or while icmp_send() is
executing?

If another task runs on the same CPU while the flag is set, it might
incorrectly fail to send an ICMP message. Alternatively, could a race allow
the recursion protection to be bypassed entirely if tasks interleave their
reads and writes to this flag?

This kfunc is registered in bpf_kfunc_check_set_skb, exposing it to program
types like SOCKET_FILTER or SK_SKB. In these contexts, socket buffers
frequently have neither a destination entry (skb_dst is NULL) nor an
assigned network device (skb->dev is NULL).

When ip_route_reply_fetch_dst() executes, it calls dev_net(skb->dev). Does
this lead to a NULL pointer dereference if the network device is not set?

Additionally, BPF programs can arbitrarily modify the SKB length, and the
network header might reside in the non-linear paged area. Does this code
need to call pskb_network_may_pull() or similar to ensure the headers are
linearized?

ip_route_reply_fetch_dst() blindly dereferences ip_hdr(skb)->saddr, which
might result in out-of-bounds reads if the header is not safely in the
linear data area.

skb_clone() copies the original SKB's control block (skb->cb) verbatim. In
hooks like TC, this area contains subsystem-specific data.

icmp_send() casts this control block to struct inet_skb_parm via IPCB().
If the copied control block data happens to set opt.optlen > 0, will
__ip_options_echo() attempt to parse IP options using arbitrary offsets?

Does the new SKB's control block need to be zeroed before passing it to
the ICMP send functions to prevent reading uninitialized values?

The same concerns about skb->dev being NULL and the need for IPv6 header
linearization apply here before calling ip6_route_reply_fetch_dst().

Similarly, does nskb->cb need to be zeroed before calling icmpv6_send()?

[PATCH bpf-next v4 4/6] selftests/bpf: add icmp_send_unreach kfunc tests

[Mahe Tardy]

This test opens a server and client, enters a new cgroup, attach a
cgroup_skb program on egress and calls the icmp_send_unreach function
from the client egress so that an ICMP unreach control message is sent
back to the client.  It then fetches the message from the error queue to
confirm the correct ICMP unreach code has been sent.

Note that, for the client, we have to connect in non-blocking mode to
let the test execute faster. Otherwise, we need to wait for the TCP
three-way handshake to timeout in the kernel before reading the errno.

Also note that we don't set IP_RECVERR on the socket in
connect_to_fd_nonblock since the error will be transferred anyway in our
test because the connection is rejected at the beginning of the TCP
handshake. See in net/ipv4/tcp_ipv4.c:tcp_v4_err line 615 to 655 for
more details.

Jordan Rife previously suggested in v3 that these ICMP constants should be
imported from <linux/icmp.h> rather than redefined here. Would it be cleaner
to include the header and avoid the redefinitions?

Yes it would be cleaner, but looks like I can't do it simply, maybe
there's a solution, see the answer from the cover-letter:

to Jordan: I couldn't include <linux/icmp.h> because of redefines from
<network_helpers.h>.

selftests/bpf: add icmp_send_unreach kfunc tests

This commit adds tests for the icmp_send_unreach kfunc. It sets up a client
and server, uses a cgroup egress program to trigger an ICMP unreachable
message, and reads the error queue to confirm the correct code is received.

Can this cause intermittent bind() failures when selftests are run in
parallel? Since tests often execute concurrently, hardcoding a fixed port
like 54321 might collide with other tests or system processes. Could we
bind to port 0 to allow the OS to assign an ephemeral port, retrieve it via
getsockname(), and pass it to the BPF program dynamically?

Could this read the error queue before the ICMP message has been processed?

The non-blocking connect() returns -EINPROGRESS, and the ICMP unreachable
message is generated by the BPF program and processed asynchronously by
softirqs. Under heavy load, if the softirq processing is deferred, could
recvmsg() execute before the error queue is populated and cause a spurious
-EAGAIN failure?

Would it be safer to use poll() or select() to wait for the POLLERR event
on the socket before attempting the read?

Does using ASSERT_EQ here cause the test to fail immediately if an unexpected
but benign control message is encountered? In BPF selftests, if ASSERT_EQ
evaluates to false, it logs a failure and marks the test as failed instead
of just skipping the message.

Also, it looks like the tags might be swapped. "cmsg_type" is used to label
the cm->cmsg_level check, and "cmsg_level" is used for the cm->cmsg_type
check.

This isn't a bug since the code correctly calls bpf_htonl(SERVER_IP) later,
but the comment appears to be incorrect. The value 0x7F000001 represents
127.0.0.1 in host byte order, not network byte order.

[PATCH bpf-next v4 5/6] selftests/bpf: add icmp_send_unreach kfunc IPv6 tests

[Mahe Tardy]

This test extend the existing IPv4 tests to IPv6.

Note that we need to set IP_RECVERR on the socket for IPv6 in
connect_to_fd_nonblock otherwise the error will be ignored even if we
are in the middle of the TCP handshake. See in
net/ipv6/datagram.c:ipv6_icmp_error line 313 for more details.

Does this hardcoded value assume a little-endian architecture?

Since the IPv6 loopback address ::1 in network byte order ends with 0x01,
reading the last 4 bytes as a 32-bit integer yields 0x01000000 on
little-endian systems, but 0x00000001 on big-endian systems like s390x.

Will this comparison fail on big-endian systems, causing the BPF program to
erroneously ignore the loopback packets?

Could we use bpf_htonl(1) or similar here instead, so the test passes
regardless of the host's endianness?

[Mahe Tardy]

This test is similar to icmp_send_unreach_kfunc but checks that, in case
of recursion, meaning that the BPF program calling the kfunc was
re-triggered by the icmp_send done by the kfunc, the kfunc will stop
early and return -EBUSY.

Sashiko AI review found 3 potential issue(s):
- [High] The `recursion` BPF program drops all unrelated IPv4 traffic on the system, causing severe network disruption and test flakiness.
- [Medium] The test leaks the cgroup testing environment by failing to call `cleanup_cgroup_environment()`.
- [Medium] The assignment to `rec_kfunc_rets` relies on an indeterminately sequenced evaluation order, making the test brittle and compiler-dependent.

Since this test manually invokes setup_cgroup_environment(), shouldn't there
be a corresponding call to cleanup_cgroup_environment() in the cleanup path?

By bypassing the test__join_cgroup() wrapper, the test framework won't
automatically clean up the cgroup state, leaving the test worker in a modified
mount namespace which might cause subsequent tests to fail.

Because this BPF program is attached to the system-wide root cgroup, will this
unconditionally drop all unrelated IPv4 traffic on the system?

Unlike the egress program which explicitly filters for IPPROTO_TCP and
SERVER_IP, this program intercepts all outbound IPv4 traffic, drops it
(returning SK_DROP), and sends ICMP errors.

This could disrupt host networking and cause test flakiness if background
traffic concurrently increments rec_count. Could the BPF program be updated
to explicitly filter for the test's traffic?

Is it possible for the array index (rec_count & 1) to be evaluated before the
function call returns?

In C, the evaluation order of the left-hand side and right-hand side of an
assignment is not sequenced. If the compiler evaluates the array index before
the function call, both the outer and inner executions could use
rec_count == 0. This would cause the outer execution to overwrite the inner
execution's -EBUSY result with 0.

Would it be safer to store the kfunc return value in a local variable before
assigning it to the array?

[PATCH bpf-next v2 4/4] selftests/bpf: add icmp_send_unreach kfunc tests

[Mahe Tardy]

This test opens a server and client, attach a cgroup_skb program on
egress and calls the icmp_send_unreach function from the client egress
so that an ICMP unreach control message is sent back to the client.
It then fetches the message from the error queue to confirm the correct
ICMP unreach code has been sent.

Note that the BPF program returns SK_PASS to let the connection being
established to finish the test cases quicker. Otherwise, you have to
wait for the TCP three-way handshake to timeout in the kernel and
retrieve the errno translated from the unreach code set by the ICMP
control message.
