====================
To date our usage of sockmap/tls has been fairly simple, the BPF programs
did only well-defined pop, push, pull and apply/cork operations.
Now that we started to push more complex programs into sockmap we uncovered
a series of issues addressed here. Further OpenSSL3.0 version should be
released soon with kTLS support so its important to get any remaining
issues on BPF and kTLS support resolved.
Additionally, I have a patch under development to allow sockmap to be
enabled/disabled at runtime for Cilium endpoints. This allows us to stress
the map insert/delete with kTLS more than previously where Cilium only
added the socket to the map when it entered ESTABLISHED state and never
touched it from the control path side again relying on the sockets own
close() hook to remove it.
To test I have a set of test cases in test_sockmap.c that expose these
issues. Once we get fixes here merged and in bpf-next I'll submit the
tests to bpf-next tree to ensure we don't regress again. Also I've run
these patches in the Cilium CI with OpenSSL (master branch) this will
run tools such as netperf, ab, wrk2, curl, etc. to get a broad set of
testing.
I'm aware of two more issues that we are working to resolve in another
couple (probably two) patches. First we see an auth tag corruption in
kTLS when sending small 1byte chunks under stress. I've not pinned this
down yet. But, guessing because its under 1B stress tests it must be
some error path being triggered. And second we need to ensure BPF RX
programs are not skipped when kTLS ULP is loaded. This breaks some of the
sockmap selftests when running with kTLS. I'll send a follow up for this.
v2: I dropped a patch that added !0 size check in tls_push_record
this originated from a panic I caught awhile ago with a trace
in the crypto stack. But I can not reproduce it anymore so will
dig into that and send another patch later if needed. Anyways
after a bit of thought it would be nicer if tls/crypto/bpf didn't
require special case handling for the !0 size.
