Currently, if a bpf sk msg program is run the program
can only parse data that the (start,end) pointers already
consumed. For sendmsg hooks this is likely the first
scatterlist element. For sendpage this will be the range
(0,0) because the data is shared with userspace and by
default we want to avoid allowing userspace to modify
data while (or after) BPF verdict is being decided.
To support pulling in additional bytes for parsing use
a new helper bpf_sk_msg_pull(start, end, flags) which
works similar to cls tc logic. This helper will attempt
to point the data start pointer at 'start' bytes offest
into msg and data end pointer at 'end' bytes offset into
message.
After basic sanity checks to ensure 'start' <= 'end' and
'end' <= msg_length there are a few cases we need to
handle.
First the sendmsg hook has already copied the data from
userspace and has exclusive access to it. Therefor, it
is not necessesary to copy the data. However, it may
be required. After finding the scatterlist element with
'start' offset byte in it there are two cases. One the
range (start,end) is entirely contained in the sg element
and is already linear. All that is needed is to update the
data pointers, no allocate/copy is needed. The other case
is (start, end) crosses sg element boundaries. In this
case we allocate a block of size 'end - start' and copy
the data to linearize it.
Next sendpage hook has not copied any data in initial
state so that data pointers are (0,0). In this case we
handle it similar to the above sendmsg case except the
allocation/copy must always happen. Then when sending
the data we have possibly three memory regions that
need to be sent, (0, start - 1), (start, end), and
(end + 1, msg_length). This is required to ensure any
writes by the BPF program are correctly transmitted.
Lastly this operation will invalidate any previous
data checks so BPF programs will have to revalidate
pointers after making this BPF call.
