bpf: make programs see skb->data == L2 for ingress and egress
eBPF programs attached to ingress and egress qdiscs see inconsistent skb->data. For ingress L2 header is already pulled, whereas for egress it's present. This is known to program writers which are currently forced to use BPF_LL_OFF workaround. Since programs don't change skb internal pointers it is safe to do pull/push right around invocation of the program and earlier taps and later pt->func() will not be affected. Multiple taps via packet_rcv(), tpacket_rcv() are doing the same trick around run_filter/BPF_PROG_RUN even if skb_shared. This fix finally allows programs to use optimized LD_ABS/IND instructions without BPF_LL_OFF for higher performance. tc ingress + cls_bpf + samples/bpf/tcbpf1_kern.o w/o JIT w/JIT before 20.5 23.6 Mpps after 21.8 26.6 Mpps Old programs with BPF_LL_OFF will still work as-is. We can now undo most of the earlier workaround commit: a166151cbe33 ("bpf: fix bpf helpers to use skb->mac_header relative offsets") Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@plumgrid.com> Acked-by: Jamal Hadi Salim <jhs@mojatatu.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
