Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bpf/bpf-next
Daniel Borkmann says: ==================== pull-request: bpf-next 2021-06-17 The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree. We've added 50 non-merge commits during the last 25 day(s) which contain a total of 148 files changed, 4779 insertions(+), 1248 deletions(-). The main changes are: 1) BPF infrastructure to migrate TCP child sockets from a listener to another in the same reuseport group/map, from Kuniyuki Iwashima. 2) Add a provably sound, faster and more precise algorithm for tnum_mul() as noted in https://arxiv.org/abs/2105.05398, from Harishankar Vishwanathan. 3) Streamline error reporting changes in libbpf as planned out in the 'libbpf: the road to v1.0' effort, from Andrii Nakryiko. 4) Add broadcast support to xdp_redirect_map(), from Hangbin Liu. 5) Extends bpf_map_lookup_and_delete_elem() functionality to 4 more map types, that is, {LRU_,PERCPU_,LRU_PERCPU_,}HASH, from Denis Salopek. 6) Support new LLVM relocations in libbpf to make them more linker friendly, also add a doc to describe the BPF backend relocations, from Yonghong Song. 7) Silence long standing KUBSAN complaints on register-based shifts in interpreter, from Daniel Borkmann and Eric Biggers. 8) Add dummy PT_REGS macros in libbpf to fail BPF program compilation when target arch cannot be determined, from Lorenz Bauer. 9) Extend AF_XDP to support large umems with 1M+ pages, from Magnus Karlsson. 10) Fix two minor libbpf tc BPF API issues, from Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi. 11) Move libbpf BPF_SEQ_PRINTF/BPF_SNPRINTF macros that can be used by BPF programs to bpf_helpers.h header, from Florent Revest. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

network connections you can set this knob to 2 to enable
unconditionally generation of syncookies.
+tcp_migrate_req - BOOLEAN
+ The incoming connection is tied to a specific listening socket when
+ the initial SYN packet is received during the three-way handshake.
+ When a listener is closed, in-flight request sockets during the
+ handshake and established sockets in the accept queue are aborted.
+
+ If the listener has SO_REUSEPORT enabled, other listeners on the
+ same port should have been able to accept such connections. This
+ option makes it possible to migrate such child sockets to another
+ listener after close() or shutdown().
+
+ The BPF_SK_REUSEPORT_SELECT_OR_MIGRATE type of eBPF program should
+ usually be used to define the policy to pick an alive listener.
+ Otherwise, the kernel will randomly pick an alive listener only if
+ this option is enabled.
+
+ Note that migration between listeners with different settings may
+ crash applications. Let's say migration happens from listener A to
+ B, and only B has TCP_SAVE_SYN enabled. B cannot read SYN data from
+ the requests migrated from A. To avoid such a situation, cancel
+ migration by returning SK_DROP in the type of eBPF program, or
+ disable this option.
