Linux kernel source tree
BPF end-user on Cilium slack-channel (Carlo Carraro) wants to use
bpf_fib_lookup for doing MTU-check, but *prior* to extending packet size,
by adjusting fib_params 'tot_len' with the packet length plus the expected
encap size. (Just like the bpf_check_mtu helper supports). He discovered
that for SKB ctx the param->tot_len was not used, instead skb->len was used
(via MTU check in is_skb_forwardable() that checks against netdev MTU).
Fix this by using fib_params 'tot_len' for MTU check. If not provided (e.g.
zero) then keep existing TC behaviour intact. Notice that 'tot_len' for MTU
check is done like XDP code-path, which checks against FIB-dst MTU.
V16:
- Revert V13 optimization, 2nd lookup is against egress/resulting netdev
V13:
- Only do ifindex lookup one time, calling dev_get_by_index_rcu().
V10:
- Use same method as XDP for 'tot_len' MTU check

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
