[SKFILTER]: Add SKF_ADF_NLATTR instruction
SKF_ADF_NLATTR searches for a netlink attribute, which avoids manually parsing and walking attributes. It takes the offset at which to start searching in the 'A' register and the attribute type in the 'X' register and returns the offset in the 'A' register. When the attribute is not found it returns zero. A top-level attribute can be located using a filter like this (example for nfnetlink, using struct nfgenmsg): ... { /* A = offset of first attribute */ .code = BPF_LD | BPF_IMM, .k = sizeof(struct nlmsghdr) + sizeof(struct nfgenmsg) }, { /* X = CTA_PROTOINFO */ .code = BPF_LDX | BPF_IMM, .k = CTA_PROTOINFO, }, { /* A = netlink attribute offset */ .code = BPF_LD | BPF_B | BPF_ABS, .k = SKF_AD_OFF + SKF_AD_NLATTR }, { /* Exit if not found */ .code = BPF_JMP | BPF_JEQ | BPF_K, .k = 0, .jt = <error> }, ... A nested attribute below the CTA_PROTOINFO attribute would then be parsed like this: ... { /* A += sizeof(struct nlattr) */ .code = BPF_ALU | BPF_ADD | BPF_K, .k = sizeof(struct nlattr), }, { /* X = CTA_PROTOINFO_TCP */ .code = BPF_LDX | BPF_IMM, .k = CTA_PROTOINFO_TCP, }, { /* A = netlink attribute offset */ .code = BPF_LD | BPF_B | BPF_ABS, .k = SKF_AD_OFF + SKF_AD_NLATTR }, ... The data of an attribute can be loaded into 'A' like this: ... { /* X = A (attribute offset) */ .code = BPF_MISC | BPF_TAX, }, { /* A = skb->data[X + k] */ .code = BPF_LD | BPF_B | BPF_IND, .k = sizeof(struct nlattr), }, ...
