Subject: [PATCH v2 bpf-next 08/11] bpf: tcp: Reject BPF_SOCK_OPS_RCVQ_CB if receive queue is not empty.
Date: Fri, 22 May 2026 07:44:59 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260522074601.1658705-9-kuniyu@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260522074601.1658705-1-kuniyu@google.com>

Unlike SOCKMAP, BPF_SOCK_OPS_RCVQ_CB does not iterate existing
skbs in the receive queue when it is enabled for the first time.

In practical production use cases, this behavior is usually not
a problem.

We can safely assume that the upper-layer protocol is designed
with specific synchronisation points where the connection is
temporarily quiet.

At these points, the application can completely drain the receive
queue and safely enable BPF_SOCK_OPS_RCVQ_CB while no skbs are
pending.

A prime example is an application transitioning from HTTP to an
RPC protocol:

     Client                                Server
       |                                     |
       | --- HTTP Upgrade request ---------> |
       |                                     | [Drain all skbs]
       |                                     | [Enable BPF_SOCK_OPS_RCVQ_CB]
       | <-- HTTP 200/Switching protocol --- |
       |                                     |
       | --- RPC Frame 1 ------------------> |

However, to strictly prevent any potential race conditions arising
from unconventional upper-layer protocol designs, let's explicitly
signal a failure if BPF_SOCK_OPS_RCVQ_CB is enabled while the receive
queue is not empty.

-EUCLEAN is chosen to indicate that the caller needs to clean up
the receive queue before enabling the feature.
