Merge branch 'add-a-dynptr-type-for-skb-metadata-for-tc-bpf'

Jakub Sitnicki says:

====================
Add a dynptr type for skb metadata for TC BPF

TL;DR
-----

This is the first step in an effort which aims to enable skb metadata
access for all BPF programs which operate on an skb context.

By skb metadata we mean the custom metadata area which can be allocated
from an XDP program with the bpf_xdp_adjust_meta helper [1]. Network stack
code accesses it using the skb_metadata_* helpers.

Overview
--------

Today, the skb metadata is accessible only by the BPF TC ingress programs
through the __sk_buff->data_meta pointer. We propose a three step plan to
make skb metadata available to all other BPF programs which operate on skb
objects:

 1) Add a dynptr type for skb metadata (this patch set)

    This is a preparatory step, but it also stands on its own. Here we
    enable access to the skb metadata through a bpf_dynptr, the same way we
    can already access the skb payload today.

    As the next step (2), we want to relocate the metadata as skb travels
    through the network stack in order to persist it. That will require a
    safe way to access the metadata area irrespective of its location.

    This is where the dynptr [2] comes into play. It solves exactly that
    problem. A dynptr to skb metadata can be backed by a memory area that
    resides in a different location depending on the code path.

 2) Persist skb metadata past the TC hook (future)

    Having the metadata in front of the packet headers as the skb travels
    through the network stack is problematic - see the discussion of
    alternative approaches below. Hence, we plan to relocate it as
    necessary past the TC hook.

    Where to relocate it? We don't know yet. There are a couple of
    options: (i) move it to the top of skb headroom, or (ii) allocate
    dedicated memory for it.  They are not mutually exclusive. The right
    solution might be a mix.

    When to relocate it? That is also an open question. It could be done
    during device to protocol handover or lazily when headers get pushed or
    headroom gets resized.

 3) skb dynptr for sockops, sk_lookup, etc. (future)

    There are BPF program types don't operate on __sk_buff context, but
    either have, or could have, access to the skb itself. As a final touch,
    we want to provide a way to create an skb metadata dynptr for these
    program types.

TIMTOWDI
--------

Alternative approaches which we considered:

* Keep the metadata always in front of skb->data

We think it is a bad idea for two reasons, outlined below. Nevertheless we
are open to it, if necessary.

 1) Performance concerns

    It would require the network stack to move the metadata on each header
    pull/push - see skb_reorder_vlan_header() [3] for an example. While
    doable, there is an expected performance overhead.

 2) Potential for bugs

    In addition to updating skb_push/pull and pskp_expand_head, we would
    need to audit any code paths which operate on skb->data pointer
    directly without going through the helpers. This creates a "known
    unknown" risk.

* Design a new custom metadata area from scratch

We have tried that in Arthur's patch set [4]. One of the outcomes of the
discussion there was that we don't want to have two places to store custom
metadata. Hence the change of approach to make the existing custom metadata
area work.
