[PATCH bpf-next v2] bpf, unix: Guard sk_msg-dependent code behind CONFIG_NET_SOCK_MSG

[Jakub Sitnicki]

Prepare to decouple BPF_SYSCALL config option from NET_SOCK_MSG. When
completed all code paths related to sockmap-based redirects should be
guarded by BPF_SYSCALL && NET_SOCK_MSG to allow users to opt out by
disabling NET_SOCK_MSG. The implementation of sockmap as a container for
socket references would remain under BPF_SYSCALL.

There is no reason to have this dead branch when
CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL && !NET_SOCK_MSG.

Let's compile out all sockmap code when both configs
are not enabled.

Since AF_UNIX differs from TCP/UDP, it can take the
simpler approach.

Maybe UNIX_BPF_SOCKMAP or something.
bpf_iter is supported without this config.

I don't like where it's going.
I strongly dislike new config knobs.
I'd rather remove existing knobs.
What is the motivation?

The goal is to compile out sockmap bits that use sk_msg.
NET_SOCK_MSG is natural, exisiting candidate.
New knob wasn't my idea.

Alternatively, we can do this to avoid the extra knob:

ifdef CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL
unix-$(CONFIG_NET_SOCK_MSG) += unix_bpf.o
endif

I think config w/o description is okay since it's not selectable.

This is far better, I forgot ifdef is available.

I'm also missing the big picture here.

sockmap already holds socket references today. You can store and look
up sockets without attaching any verdict/parser program, and no
redirect happens. So if the goal is to use sockmap purely as a socket
container without the sk_msg fast-path overhead, what does a
compile-time NET_SOCK_MSG knob add over the runtime checks?

I am also not sure if NET_SOCK_MSG is right. It is broader than
"sockmap redirect". It is selected by TLS and {INET,INET6}_ESPINTCP.
Because those select it, it can't be toggled independently.

Could you share the concrete use case you have in mind, and whether
this came out of an earlier discussion or thread upstream?

Sure, let me clarify. It's about the maintenance overhead.

sockmap-based redirects are a rather niche feature with few users, for
which we've been getting quite a few bug reports since AI came along.

We're not using it internally at Cloudflare, so I don't really have a
good reason to justify time spent on these bug reports.

Hence the move to put sockmap-based redirect behind a config option,
which you can enable at your own risk. Or which we can deprecate, but
that's not really my call.

Once the sockmap redirect bits are behind _some_ config option, it will
be easy to replace it with a more granular one that depends on
NET_SOCK_MSG. But we're not there yet. One step at a time.

This is wishful thinking that a config knob will stop
the bug reports.
Just disable it for real instead.

No. That's not workable.

Not quite. The discussion was to disable pieces of sockmap
that are causing trouble.
Not to move them under config knobs, but disable them.

I meant UNIX_BPF sounds like it covers bpf iterator for AF_UNIX too.
