Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v4 3/6] bpf: add BPF_F_ADJ_ROOM_DECAP_* flags for tunnel decapsulation
Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2026 08:55:11 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260416075514.927101-4-nhudson@akamai.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260416075514.927101-1-nhudson@akamai.com>
Add new bpf_skb_adjust_room() decapsulation flags:
- BPF_F_ADJ_ROOM_DECAP_L4_GRE
- BPF_F_ADJ_ROOM_DECAP_L4_UDP
- BPF_F_ADJ_ROOM_DECAP_IPXIP4
- BPF_F_ADJ_ROOM_DECAP_IPXIP6
These flags let BPF programs describe which tunnel layer is being
removed, so later changes can update tunnel-related GSO state
accordingly during decapsulation.
This patch only introduces the UAPI flag definitions and helper
documentation.
