Subject: [PATCH net-next] tcp: change bpf_skops_hdr_opt_len() signature
Date: Mon, 1 Jun 2026 09:38:19 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260601093819.469626-1-edumazet@google.com> (raw)
Some compilers do not inline bpf_skops_hdr_opt_len() from
tcp_established_options(), forcing an expensive stack canary
when CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG=y.
Change bpf_skops_hdr_opt_len() to return @remaining by value
to remove this stack canary from TCP fast path.
$ scripts/bloat-o-meter -t vmlinux.old vmlinux.new
add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 1/1 up/down: 10/-59 (-49)
Function old new delta
bpf_skops_hdr_opt_len 297 307 +10
tcp_established_options 574 515 -59
Total: Before=31456795, After=31456746, chg -0.00%
