The description of 'dst_port' in 'struct bpf_sock' is not accurated.
In fact, 'dst_port' is not in network byte order, it is 'partly' in
network byte order.
We can see it in bpf_sock_convert_ctx_access():
> case offsetof(struct bpf_sock, dst_port):
> *insn++ = BPF_LDX_MEM(
> BPF_FIELD_SIZEOF(struct sock_common, skc_dport),
> si->dst_reg, si->src_reg,
> bpf_target_off(struct sock_common, skc_dport,
> sizeof_field(struct sock_common,
> skc_dport),
> target_size));
It simply passes 'sock_common->skc_dport' to 'bpf_sock->dst_port',
which makes that the low 16-bits of 'dst_port' is equal to 'skc_port'
and is in network byte order, but the high 16-bites of 'dst_port' is
0. And the actual port is 'bpf_ntohs((__u16)dst_port)', and
'bpf_ntohl(dst_port)' is totally not the right port.
This is different form 'remote_port' in 'struct bpf_sock_ops' or
'struct __sk_buff':
> case offsetof(struct __sk_buff, remote_port):
> BUILD_BUG_ON(sizeof_field(struct sock_common, skc_dport) != 2);
>
> *insn++ = BPF_LDX_MEM(BPF_FIELD_SIZEOF(struct sk_buff, sk),
> si->dst_reg, si->src_reg,
> offsetof(struct sk_buff, sk));
> *insn++ = BPF_LDX_MEM(BPF_H, si->dst_reg, si->dst_reg,
> bpf_target_off(struct sock_common,
> skc_dport,
> 2, target_size));
> #ifndef __BIG_ENDIAN_BITFIELD
> *insn++ = BPF_ALU32_IMM(BPF_LSH, si->dst_reg, 16);
> #endif
We can see that it will left move 16-bits in little endian, which makes
the whole 'remote_port' is in network byte order, and the actual port
is bpf_ntohl(remote_port).
Note this in the document of 'dst_port'. ( Maybe this should be unified
in the code? )
