[PATCH bpf-next v1 1/4] bpf, sockmap: Fix data lost during EAGAIN retries
From: Jiayuan Chen
Date: Mon Apr 07 2025 - 10:26:47 EST
We call skb_bpf_redirect_clear() to clean _sk_redir before handling skb in
backlog, but when sk_psock_handle_skb() return EAGAIN due to sk_rcvbuf
limit, the redirect info in _sk_redir is not recovered.
Fix skb redir loss during EAGAIN retries by restoring _sk_redir
information using skb_bpf_set_redir().
Before this patch:
'''
./bench sockmap -c 2 -p 1 -a --rx-verdict-ingress
Setting up benchmark 'sockmap'...
create socket fd c1:13 p1:14 c2:15 p2:16
Benchmark 'sockmap' started.
Send Speed 1343.172 MB/s, BPF Speed 1343.238 MB/s, Rcv Speed 65.271 MB/s
Send Speed 1352.022 MB/s, BPF Speed 1352.088 MB/s, Rcv Speed 0 MB/s
Send Speed 1354.105 MB/s, BPF Speed 1354.105 MB/s, Rcv Speed 0 MB/s
Send Speed 1355.018 MB/s, BPF Speed 1354.887 MB/s, Rcv Speed 0 MB/s
'''
Due to the high send rate, the RX processing path may frequently hit the
sk_rcvbuf limit. Once triggered, incorrect _sk_redir will cause the flow
to mistakenly enter the "!ingress" path, leading to send failures.
(The Rcv speed depends on tcp_rmem).
After this patch:
'''
./bench sockmap -c 2 -p 1 -a --rx-verdict-ingress
Setting up benchmark 'sockmap'...
create socket fd c1:13 p1:14 c2:15 p2:16
Benchmark 'sockmap' started.

Send Speed 1353.186 MB/s, BPF Speed 1353.121 MB/s, Rcv Speed 65.536 MB/s
