[bpf-next,v5,2/6] net: tun: enable transfer of XDP metadata to skb

Commit Message

Marcus Wichelmann March 5, 2025, 9:34 p.m. UTC

When the XDP metadata area was used, it is expected that the same
metadata can also be accessed from TC, as can be read in the description
of the bpf_xdp_adjust_meta helper function. In the tun driver, this was
not yet implemented.

To make this work, the skb that is being built on XDP_PASS should know
of the current size of the metadata area. This is ensured by adding
calls to skb_metadata_set. For the tun_xdp_one code path, an additional
check is necessary to handle the case where the externally initialized
xdp_buff has no metadata support (xdp->data_meta == xdp->data + 1).

More information about this feature can be found in the commit message
of commit de8f3a83b0a0 ("bpf: add meta pointer for direct access").
