BPF_MAP_TYPE_SK_STORAGE
|
||||
=======================
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
- ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_SK_STORAGE`` was introduced in kernel version 5.2
|
||||
|
||||
``BPF_MAP_TYPE_SK_STORAGE`` is used to provide socket-local storage for BPF
|
||||
programs. A map of type ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_SK_STORAGE`` declares the type of storage
|
||||
to be provided and acts as the handle for accessing the socket-local
|
||||
storage. The values for maps of type ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_SK_STORAGE`` are stored
|
||||
locally with each socket instead of with the map. The kernel is responsible for
|
||||
allocating storage for a socket when requested and for freeing the storage when
|
||||
either the map or the socket is deleted.
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
- The key type must be ``int`` and ``max_entries`` must be set to ``0``.
|
||||
- The ``BPF_F_NO_PREALLOC`` flag must be used when creating a map for
|
||||
socket-local storage.
|
||||
|
||||
Usage
|
||||
=====
|
||||
|
||||
Kernel BPF
|
||||
----------
|
||||
|
||||
bpf_sk_storage_get()
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: c
|
||||
|
||||
void *bpf_sk_storage_get(struct bpf_map *map, void *sk, void *value, u64 flags)
|
||||
|
||||
Socket-local storage can be retrieved using the ``bpf_sk_storage_get()``
|
||||
helper. The helper gets the storage from ``sk`` that is associated with ``map``.
|
||||
If the ``BPF_LOCAL_STORAGE_GET_F_CREATE`` flag is used then
|
||||
``bpf_sk_storage_get()`` will create the storage for ``sk`` if it does not
|
||||
already exist. ``value`` can be used together with
|
||||
``BPF_LOCAL_STORAGE_GET_F_CREATE`` to initialize the storage value, otherwise it
|
||||
will be zero initialized. Returns a pointer to the storage on success, or
|
||||
``NULL`` in case of failure.
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
- ``sk`` is a kernel ``struct sock`` pointer for LSM or tracing programs.
|
||||
- ``sk`` is a ``struct bpf_sock`` pointer for other program types.
|
||||
|
||||
bpf_sk_storage_delete()
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: c
|
||||
|
||||
long bpf_sk_storage_delete(struct bpf_map *map, void *sk)
|
||||
|
||||
Socket-local storage can be deleted using the ``bpf_sk_storage_delete()``
|
||||
helper. The helper deletes the storage from ``sk`` that is identified by
|
||||
``map``. Returns ``0`` on success, or negative error in case of failure.
|
||||
|
||||
User space
|
||||
----------
|
||||
|
||||
bpf_map_update_elem()
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: c
|
||||
|
||||
int bpf_map_update_elem(int map_fd, const void *key, const void *value, __u64 flags)
|
||||
|
||||
Socket-local storage for the socket identified by ``key`` belonging to
|
||||
``map_fd`` can be added or updated using the ``bpf_map_update_elem()`` libbpf
|
||||
function. ``key`` must be a pointer to a valid ``fd`` in the user space
|
||||
program. The ``flags`` parameter can be used to control the update behaviour:
|
||||
|
||||
- ``BPF_ANY`` will create storage for ``fd`` or update existing storage.
|
||||
- ``BPF_NOEXIST`` will create storage for ``fd`` only if it did not already
|
||||
exist, otherwise the call will fail with ``-EEXIST``.
|
||||
- ``BPF_EXIST`` will update existing storage for ``fd`` if it already exists,
|
||||
otherwise the call will fail with ``-ENOENT``.
|
||||
|
||||
Returns ``0`` on success, or negative error in case of failure.
|
||||
|
||||
bpf_map_lookup_elem()
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: c
|
||||
|
||||
int bpf_map_lookup_elem(int map_fd, const void *key, void *value)
|
||||
|
||||
Socket-local storage for the socket identified by ``key`` belonging to
|
||||
``map_fd`` can be retrieved using the ``bpf_map_lookup_elem()`` libbpf
|
||||
function. ``key`` must be a pointer to a valid ``fd`` in the user space
|
||||
program. Returns ``0`` on success, or negative error in case of failure.
|
||||
|
||||
bpf_map_delete_elem()
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: c
|
||||
|
||||
int bpf_map_delete_elem(int map_fd, const void *key)
|
||||
|
||||
Socket-local storage for the socket identified by ``key`` belonging to
|
||||
``map_fd`` can be deleted using the ``bpf_map_delete_elem()`` libbpf
|
||||
function. Returns ``0`` on success, or negative error in case of failure.
|
||||
|
||||
Examples
|
||||
========
|
||||
|
||||
Kernel BPF
|
||||
----------
|
||||
|
||||
This snippet shows how to declare socket-local storage in a BPF program:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: c
|
||||
|
||||
struct {
|
||||
__uint(type, BPF_MAP_TYPE_SK_STORAGE);
|
||||
__uint(map_flags, BPF_F_NO_PREALLOC);
|
||||
__type(key, int);
|
||||
__type(value, struct my_storage);
|
||||
} socket_storage SEC(".maps");
|
||||
|
||||
This snippet shows how to retrieve socket-local storage in a BPF program:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: c
|
||||
|
||||
SEC("sockops")
|
||||
int _sockops(struct bpf_sock_ops *ctx)
|
||||
{
|
||||
struct my_storage *storage;
|
||||
struct bpf_sock *sk;
|
||||
|
||||
sk = ctx->sk;
|
||||
if (!sk)
|
||||
return 1;
|
||||
|
||||
storage = bpf_sk_storage_get(&socket_storage, sk, 0,
|
||||
BPF_LOCAL_STORAGE_GET_F_CREATE);
|
||||
if (!storage)
|
||||
return 1;
|
||||
|
||||
/* Use 'storage' here */
|
||||
|
||||
return 1;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Please see the ``tools/testing/selftests/bpf`` directory for functional
|
||||
examples.
