[PATCH bpf-next v4 0/6] XDP metadata support for tun driver

[Marcus Wichelmann]

Hi all,

this series contains some improvements for the selftest patches. The other
patches remain unchanged. Please check the changelist below.

I have reverted the addition of the NOARP flag from the previous version,
as it was not effective and the CI was still failing occasionally because
of the race condition caused by foreign packets interfering with the veth
tests. This series contains an alternative solution by filtering all but
the test packets using the attached XDP program.

Successful pipeline:
https://github.com/kernel-patches/bpf/actions/runs/13552017584

---

v4:
- strip unrelated changes from the selftest patches
- extend commit message for "selftests/bpf: refactor xdp_context_functional
  test and bpf program"
- the NOARP flag was not effective to prevent other packets from
  interfering with the tests, add a filter to the XDP program instead
- run xdp_context_tuntap in a separate namespace to avoid conflicts with
  other tests

v3: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20250224152909.3911544-1-marcus.wichelmann@hetzner-cloud.de/
- change the condition to handle xdp_buffs without metadata support, as
  suggested by Willem de Bruijn <willemb@google.com>
- add clarifying comment why that condition is needed
- set NOARP flag in selftests to ensure that the kernel does not send
  packets on the test interfaces that may interfere with the tests

v2: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20250217172308.3291739-1-marcus.wichelmann@hetzner-cloud.de/
- submit against bpf-next subtree
- split commits and improved commit messages
- remove redundant metasize check and add clarifying comment instead
- use max() instead of ternary operator
- add selftest for metadata support in the tun driver

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250130171614.1657224-1-marcus.wichelmann@hetzner-cloud.de/

[PATCH bpf-next v4 1/6] net: tun: enable XDP metadata support

[Marcus Wichelmann]

Enable the support for the bpf_xdp_adjust_meta helper function for XDP
buffers initialized by the tun driver. This allows to reserve a metadata
area that is useful to pass any information from one XDP program to
another one, for example when using tail-calls.

Whether this helper function can be used in an XDP program depends on
how the xdp_buff was initialized. Most net drivers initialize the
xdp_buff in a way, that allows bpf_xdp_adjust_meta to be used. In case
of the tun driver, this is currently not the case.

There are two code paths in the tun driver that lead to a
bpf_prog_run_xdp and where metadata support should be enabled:

1. tun_build_skb, which is called by tun_get_user and is used when
   writing packets from userspace into the device. In this case, the
   xdp_buff created in tun_build_skb has no support for
   bpf_xdp_adjust_meta and calls of that helper function result in
   ENOTSUPP.

   For this code path, it's sufficient to set the meta_valid argument of
   the xdp_prepare_buff call. The reserved headroom is large enough
   already.

2. tun_xdp_one, which is called by tun_sendmsg which again is called by
   other drivers (e.g. vhost_net). When the TUN_MSG_PTR mode is used,
   another driver may pass a batch of xdp_buffs to the tun driver. In
   this case, that other driver is the one initializing the xdp_buff.

   See commit 043d222f93ab ("tuntap: accept an array of XDP buffs
   through sendmsg()") for details.

   For now, the vhost_net driver is the only one using TUN_MSG_PTR and
   it already initializes the xdp_buffs with metadata support and
   sufficient headroom. But the tun driver disables it again, so the
   xdp_set_data_meta_invalid call has to be removed.

[PATCH bpf-next v4 2/6] net: tun: enable transfer of XDP metadata to skb

[Marcus Wichelmann]

When the XDP metadata area was used, it is expected that the same
metadata can also be accessed from TC, as can be read in the description
of the bpf_xdp_adjust_meta helper function. In the tun driver, this was
not yet implemented.

To make this work, the skb that is being built on XDP_PASS should know
of the current size of the metadata area. This is ensured by adding
calls to skb_metadata_set. For the tun_xdp_one code path, an additional
check is necessary to handle the case where the externally initialized
xdp_buff has no metadata support (xdp->data_meta == xdp->data + 1).

More information about this feature can be found in the commit message
of commit de8f3a83b0a0 ("bpf: add meta pointer for direct access").

The changes have conflicts with the commit 2506251e81d1 ("tun: Decouple vnet handling").

It is better to rebase the works onto the bpf-next/net,
i.e. the "net" branch instead of the "master" branch.

Alright, will do that. Should I send it as a v5 and still with "PATCH bpf-next"
in the header or something else?

That should do. The bpf CI should pick up the bpf-next/net if it fails to apply 
to the bpf-next/master because of the conflict mentioned above.

For patch 3, it should help to avoid the future merge conflict if the 
open_tuntap() is added a few lines above in the network_helpers.h. For patch 6, 
the "test_ns_" naming is not in bpf-next/net yet. Other tests in the same file 
is doing netns_new. May be just do the same and cleanup all at once of this file 
later.

[PATCH bpf-next v4 3/6] selftests/bpf: move open_tuntap to network helpers

[Marcus Wichelmann]

To test the XDP metadata functionality of the tun driver, it's necessary
to create a new tap device first. A helper function for this already
exists in lwt_helpers.h. Move it to the common network helpers header,
so it can be reused in other tests.

[PATCH bpf-next v4 4/6] selftests/bpf: refactor xdp_context_functional test and bpf program

[Marcus Wichelmann]

The existing XDP metadata test works by creating a veth pair and
attaching XDP & TC programs that drop the packet when the condition of
the test isn't fulfilled. The test then pings through the veth pair and
succeeds when the ping comes through.

While this test works great for a veth pair, it is hard to replicate for
tap devices to test the XDP metadata support of them. A similar test for
the tun driver would either involve logic to reply to the ping request,
or would have to capture the packet to check if it was dropped or not.

To make the testing of other drivers easier while still maximizing code
reuse, this commit refactors the existing xdp_context_functional test to
use a test_result map. Instead of conditionally passing or dropping the
packet, the TC program is changed to copy the received metadata into the
value of that single-entry array map. Tests can then verify that the map
value matches the expectation.

This testing logic is easy to adapt to other network drivers as the only
remaining requirement is that there is some way to send a custom
Ethernet packet through it that triggers the XDP & TC programs.

The Ethernet header of that custom packet is all-zero, because it is not
required to be valid for the test to work. The zero ethertype also helps
to filter out packets that are not related to the test and would
otherwise interfere with it.

The payload of the Ethernet packet is used as the test data that is
expected to be passed as metadata from the XDP to the TC program and
written to the map. It has a fixed size of 32 bytes which is a
reasonable size that should be supported by both drivers. Additional
packet headers are not necessary for the test and were therefore skipped
to keep the testing code short.

This new testing methodology no longer requires the veth interfaces to
have IP addresses assigned, therefore these were removed.

[PATCH bpf-next v4 5/6] selftests/bpf: add test for XDP metadata support in tun driver

[Marcus Wichelmann]

Add a selftest that creates a tap device, attaches XDP and TC programs,
writes a packet with a test payload into the tap device and checks the
test result. This test ensures that the XDP metadata support in the tun
driver is enabled and that the metadata size is correctly passed to the
skb.

See the previous commit ("selftests/bpf: refactor xdp_context_functional
test and bpf program") for details about the test design.

The test runs in its own network namespace using the feature introduced
with commit c047e0e0e435 ("selftests/bpf: Optionally open a dedicated
namespace to run test in it"). This provides some extra safety against
conflicting interface names.

[PATCH bpf-next v4 6/6] selftests/bpf: fix file descriptor assertion in open_tuntap helper

[Marcus Wichelmann]

The open_tuntap helper function uses open() to get a file descriptor for
/dev/net/tun.

The open(2) manpage writes this about its return value:

  On success, open(), openat(), and creat() return the new file
  descriptor (a nonnegative integer).  On error, -1 is returned and
  errno is set to indicate the error.

This means that the fd > 0 assertion in the open_tuntap helper is
incorrect and should rather check for fd >= 0.

When running the BPF selftests locally, this incorrect assertion was not
an issue, but the BPF kernel-patches CI failed because of this:

  open_tuntap:FAIL:open(/dev/net/tun) unexpected open(/dev/net/tun):
  actual 0 <= expected 0

Hi,

thank you for including it in your tests.

The mentioned commit is not yet in bpf-next, but I rebased my patch on
latest mainline and attached the updated patch for the conflicting
commit.

The conflict was just about a section that was removed right below
my added line in network_helpers.h, so no functional change.

Subject: [PATCH] selftests/bpf: move open_tuntap to network helpers

To test the XDP metadata functionality of the tun driver, it's necessary
to create a new tap device first. A helper function for this already
exists in lwt_helpers.h. Move it to the common network helpers header,
so it can be reused in other tests.

Hi,

thank you for including it in your tests.

The mentioned commit is not yet in bpf-next, but I rebased my patch on
latest mainline and attached the updated patch for the conflicting
commit (now with proper formatting, hopefully).

The conflict was just about a section that was removed right below
my added line in network_helpers.h, so no functional change.
