Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v4 3/6] bpf: add bpf_icmp_send_unreach kfunc
Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2026 10:58:13 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260420105816.72168-4-mahe.tardy@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260420105816.72168-1-mahe.tardy@gmail.com>
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.
