    selftests/bpf: xdp_hw_metadata clear metadata when -EOPNOTSUPP · 3fd9dcd6
    Jesper Dangaard Brouer authored
    The AF_XDP userspace part of xdp_hw_metadata see non-zero as a signal of
    the availability of rx_timestamp and rx_hash in data_meta area. The
    kernel-side BPF-prog code doesn't initialize these members when kernel
    returns an error e.g. -EOPNOTSUPP.  This memory area is not guaranteed to
    be zeroed, and can contain garbage/previous values, which will be read
    and interpreted by AF_XDP userspace side.
    
    Tested this on different drivers. The experiences are that for most
    packets they will have zeroed this data_meta area, but occasionally it
    will contain garbage data.
    
    Example of failure tested on ixgbe:
    
     poll: 1 (0)
     xsk_ring_cons__peek: 1
     0x18ec788: rx_desc[0]->addr=100000000008000 addr=8100 comp_addr=8000
     rx_hash: 3697961069
     rx_timestamp:  9024981991734834796 (sec:9024981991.7348)
     0x18ec788: complete idx=8 addr=8000
    
    Converting to date:
    
     date -d @9024981991

    I choose a simple fix in this patch. When kfunc fails or isn't supported
    assign zero to the corresponding struct meta value.
    
    It's up to the individual BPF-programmer to do something smarter e.g.
    that fits their use-case, like getting a software timestamp and marking
    a flag that gives the type of timestamp.
