[PATCH bpf v2 1/2] bpf: reject incompatible socket assignments

[Shihuang Liu]

bpf_sk_assign() permits TC ingress programs to associate an IPv6 packet
with an AF_INET socket. The receive path can then interpret IPv6 skb
control data as IPv4 metadata. When IP_RETOPTS is enabled, this can cause
__ip_options_echo() to copy beyond its stack buffer.

Reject incompatible packet and socket families in bpf_sk_assign() and
bpf_sk_assign_tcp_reqsk(). Continue to allow IPv4 packets to use
dual-stack AF_INET6 sockets.

Check request sockets against rsk_ops->family, since their sk_family is
inherited from the listener and sk_ipv6only is not initialized.

Fixes: cf7fbe660f2d ("bpf: Add socket assign support")
Assisted-by: LLM

Changes since v1:
- Move family validation out of the IPv6 receive fast path and into
  bpf_sk_assign() and bpf_sk_assign_tcp_reqsk().
- Preserve IPv4 assignments to dual-stack AF_INET6 sockets.
- Check request sockets using rsk_ops->family.
- Split the fix into two patches and target the BPF fixes tree.
