Subject: [PATCH v7 net-next 0/5] psp: Add support for dev-assoc/disassoc
Date: Sat, 21 Mar 2026 21:06:46 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260322040704.991766-1-weibunny.kernel@gmail.com> (raw)
From: Wei Wang <weibunny@fb.com>
The main purpose of this feature is to associate virtual devices like
veth or netkit with a real PSP device, so we could provide PSP
functionality to the application running with virtual devices.
A typical deployment that works with this feature is as follows:
Host Namespace:
psp_dev_local ←──physically linked──→ psp_dev_peer
(PSP device)
│
│ BPF on psp_dev_local ingress: bpf_redirect_peer() to nk_guest
│
nk_host / veth_host
│
│ BPF on nk_host ingress: bpf_redirect_neigh() to psp_dev_local
│
Guest Namespace (netns):
│
nk_guest / veth_guest
★ PSP application run here
Remote Namespace (_netns):
psp_dev_peer
★ PSP server application runs here
Note:
The general requirement for this feature to work:
For PSP to work correctly, the egress device at validate_xmit_skb()
time must have psp_dev matching the association's psd. Any device
stacking or traffic redirection that changes the egress device will
cause either:
1. TX validation failure (SKB_DROP_REASON_PSP_OUTPUT) - fail-safe
2. RX policy failure after tx-assoc - packets without PSP extension
are rejected by receiver expecting encrypted traffic
Here are a few examples that this feature would not work:
- Bonding with load balancing in round-robin, XOR, 802.3ad mode across
multiple PSP devices, or mixed PSP and non-PSP devices
- Bonding with active-backup mode might work without PSP migration for
failover case.
- ipvlan/macvlan in bridge mode would not work given packets are
loopbacked locally without going through the PSP device.
Changes since v6:
- Remove the unused remote_addr, nk_guest_addr and import cmd in patch 5
Changes since v5:
- Remove module_exit() in patch 3
Changes since v4:
- Address compilation warning in patch 3
- Removed the call to psp_nl_has_listeners_any_ns() and check listeners
when looping through netns in psp_nl_notify_dev() in patch 2. This
makes sure we only send notification to netns that has listeners.
Changes since v3:
- Make nsid optional for dev-assoc/dev-disassoc operation, and use
the ns user is in when it's not specified. Also added a test for this.
- Fix psp_nl_notify_dev() to compute the correct nsid relative to the
listener's netns.
- Only register the new netdev event for psp dev cleanup upon the first
successful dev-assoc operation.
- Change the following in selftest:
- Add CONFIG_NETKIT to driver/net's config
- Fall back to NetDrvEpEnv and run basic test cases if NetDrvContEnv
does not load
- Use ksft_variants instead of psp_ip_ver_test_builder
Changes since v2:
- Change the newly added parameter to psp_device_get_and_lock() to
admin in patch 1. Introduce 2 device check functions:
- psp_device_get_locked_admin() for dev-set and key-rotate
- psp_device_get_locked() for all other operations
Flip the logic for checking the dev_assoc_list accordingly in patch 2.
- Move psp_nl_notify_dev() before removing the dev from assoc_dev_list
in psp_nl_dev_disassoc_doit() and correct the typo in commit msg in
patch 2.
- Remove the threading and subprocess and some comment updates in patch 5.
Changes since v1:
- Update the first 4 patches to reflect the latest changes in
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20260302053315.1919859-1-dw@davidwei.uk/
- Update patch 9 to add a param to NetDrvContEnv to control the loading
of the tx forwarding bpf program
