Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v3 04/10] bpf: Enable read-write access to skb metadata with dynptr slice
Date: Mon, 21 Jul 2025 12:52:42 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250721-skb-metadata-thru-dynptr-v3-4-e92be5534174@cloudflare.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250721-skb-metadata-thru-dynptr-v3-0-e92be5534174@cloudflare.com>
Make it possible to read from or write to skb metadata area using the
dynptr slices creates with bpf_dynptr_slice() or bpf_dynptr_slice_rdwr().
This prepares ground for access to skb metadata from all BPF hooks
which operate on __sk_buff context.
