bpf: expose is_mptcp flag to bpf_tcp_sock
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
is_mptcp is a field from struct tcp_sock used to indicate that the
current tcp_sock is part of the MPTCP protocol.

In this protocol, a first socket (mptcp_sock) is created with
sk_protocol set to IPPROTO_MPTCP (=262) for control purpose but it
isn't directly on the wire. This is the role of the subflow (kernel)
sockets which are classical tcp_sock with sk_protocol set to
IPPROTO_TCP. The only way to differentiate such sockets from plain TCP
sockets is the is_mptcp field from tcp_sock.

Such an exposure in BPF is thus required to be able to differentiate
plain TCP sockets from MPTCP subflow sockets in BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCK_OPS
programs.

The choice has been made to silently pass the case when CONFIG_MPTCP is
unset by defaulting is_mptcp to 0 in order to make BPF independent of
the MPTCP configuration. Another solution is to make the verifier fail
in 'bpf_tcp_sock_is_valid_ctx_access' but this will add an additional
'#ifdef CONFIG_MPTCP' in the BPF code and a same injected BPF program
will not run if MPTCP is not set.

An example use-case is provided in
