[PATCH 0/3] bpf: TSTAMP_COMPLETION_CB timestamping + enable it for Bluetooth

[PATCH 0/3] bpf: TSTAMP_COMPLETION_CB timestamping + enable it for Bluetooth

[Pauli Virtanen]

Add BPF_SOCK_OPS_TSTAMP_COMPLETION_CB and emit it on completion
timestamps.

Enable that for Bluetooth.

Tests:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-bluetooth/a74e58b9cf12bc9c64a024d18e6e58999202f853.1743336056.git.pav@iki.fi/

***

However, I don't quite see how to do the tskey management so
that BPF and socket timestamping do not interfere with each other.

The tskey counter here increments only for sendmsg() that have
timestamping turned on. IIUC this works similarly as for UDP.  I
understood the documentation so that stream sockets would do similarly,
but apparently TCP increments also for non-timestamped packets.

If BPF needs tskey while socket timestamping is off, we can't increment
sk_tskey, as that interferes with counting by user applications doing
socket timestamps.

Should the Bluetooth timestamping actually just increment the counters
for any packet, timestamped or not?

[PATCH 1/3] bpf: Add BPF_SOCK_OPS_TSTAMP_COMPLETION_CB callback

[Pauli Virtanen]

Support SCM_TSTAMP_COMPLETION case for bpf timestamping.

Add a new sock_ops callback, BPF_SOCK_OPS_TSTAMP_SND_SW_CB. This
callback shall occur at the same timestamping point as the user
space's software SCM_TSTAMP_COMPLETION. The BPF program can use it to
get the same SCM_TSTAMP_COMPLETION timestamp without modifying the
user-space application.

Emitting BPF completion timestamps is enabled in separate patches.

[PATCH 2/3] [RFC] bpf: allow non-TCP skbs for bpf_sock_ops_enable_tx_tstamp

[Pauli Virtanen]

Change bpf_sock_ops_enable_tx_tstamp() kfunc to only set SKBTX_BPF flag,
so that it can be used also for non-TCP skbs.  Do not set TCP-specific
fields if the socket is not TCP.

***

Doing it this way requires a valid tskey is set by the socket family,
before BPF_SOCK_OPS_TSTAMP_SENDMSG_CB.  Alternatively, it maybe could be
hardcoded per socket type here, or some new proto_ops added.

I don't think it needs to add "atomic_t bpf_tskey". Allow the bpf to decide what 
the skb_shinfo(skb)->tskey should be if it is not set by the userspace.

Ok. So if I understand correctly, the plan is that for UDP and
Bluetooth seqpacket sockets it works like this:

bpf_sock_ops_enable_tx_tstamp() does not set tskey.

Socket timestamping sets tskey the same way as previously.

So when both are in play, it shall work like:

* attach BPF timestamping
* setsockopt(SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SOFTWARE | SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_ID)
* sendmsg() CMSG SO_TIMESTAMPING = 0
=> tskey 0 (unset)
* sendmsg() CMSG SO_TIMESTAMPING = SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_SOFTWARE
=> tskey 0
* sendmsg() CMSG SO_TIMESTAMPING = SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_SOFTWARE
=> tskey 1
* sendmsg() CMSG SO_TIMESTAMPING = 0
=> tskey 0 (unset)
* sendmsg() CMSG SO_TIMESTAMPING = 0
=> tskey 0 (unset)
* sendmsg() CMSG SO_TIMESTAMPING = 0
=> tskey 0 (unset)
* sendmsg() CMSG SO_TIMESTAMPING = SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_SOFTWARE
=> tskey 2

and BPF program has to handle the (unset) cases itself.

The idea was that the bpf prog can directly set the skb_shinfo(skb)->tskey if it 
is not used by the userspace. iirc, it is where the discussion left at during 
the earlier UDP support thread.

The bpf_sock_ops_enable_tx_tstamp() has an used "u64 flags" argument. 
Potentially, it can use the higher 32bits to specify the tskey.

Thanks for working on this!

It would be better if you can cc Martin in the next revision since he
is one of co-authors of BPF timestamping. Using
./scripts/get_maintainer.pl will show you which group people you're
supposed to cc.

TCP increments sequence number for every skb regardless of BPF
timestamping feature. BPF timetamping uses the last byte of the last
skb to generate the tskey in tcp_tx_timestamp(). So it means the tskey
comes with the sequence number of each to-be-traced skb. It works for
both socket and BPF timestamping features.

That is the reason why in TCP we chose to implement the tskey of BPF
timestamping in the socket timestamping area. Please take a look at
tcp_tx_timestamp(). As for UDP implementation, it is a leftover that I
will make work next month.

It's supposed to be the same tskey shared with socket timestamping so
that people don't need to separately take care of a new tskey
management.That is to say, if the socket timestamping and BPF
timestamping are turned on, sharing the same tskey will be consistent.

Thanks,
Jason

Ok, I guess I forgot tskey is reset to zero when socket timestamping is (re-)enabled. Then it's ok to increment the counter when either BPF or socket tstamps are enabled, although BPF will then have to live with tskey discontinuity when that happens.

But from the above, if BT stream socket tskey should work same as TCP (increment on every byte, also when timestamping is off) that probably should be fixed now while nobody is yet using the feature.

And for seqpacket, retain current behaviour of increment by one for each timestamped packet (and reset to 0 when stamping turned on).
