[PATCH bpf-next 1/2] bpf: add csum/ip_summed fields to __sk_buff

From: Menglong Dong
Date: Fri Dec 29 2023 - 03:16:10 EST


For now, we have to call some helpers when we need to update the csum,
such as bpf_l4_csum_replace, bpf_l3_csum_replace, etc. These helpers are
not inlined, which causes poor performance.

In fact, we can define our own csum update functions in BPF program
instead of bpf_l3_csum_replace, which is totally inlined and efficient.
However, we can't do this for bpf_l4_csum_replace for now, as we can't
update skb->csum, which can make skb->csum invalid in the rx path with
CHECKSUM_COMPLETE mode.

What's more, we can't use the direct data access and have to use
skb_store_bytes() with the BPF_F_RECOMPUTE_CSUM flag in some case, such
as modifing the vni in the vxlan header and the underlay udp header has
no checksum.

With the read/write accessing to skb->csum and read accessing to
skb->ip_summed, now we can define the inlined csum update functions in
libbpf, which are much more efficient.
