As stated in 983695fa67 ("bpf: fix unconnected udp hooks"), the objective
for the existing cgroup connect/sendmsg/recvmsg/bind BPF hooks is to be
transparent to applications. In Cilium we make use of these hooks [0] in
order to enable E-W load balancing for existing Kubernetes service types
for all Cilium managed nodes in the cluster. Those backends can be local
or remote. The main advantage of this approach is that it operates as close
as possible to the socket, and therefore allows to avoid packet-based NAT
given in connect/sendmsg/recvmsg hooks we only need to xlate sock addresses.
This also allows to expose NodePort services on loopback addresses in the
host namespace, for example. As another advantage, this also efficiently
blocks bind requests for applications in the host namespace for exposed
ports. However, one missing item is that we also need to perform reverse
xlation for inet{,6}_getname() hooks such that we can return the service
IP/port tuple back to the application instead of the remote peer address.
The vast majority of applications does not bother about getpeername(), but
in a few occasions we've seen breakage when validating the peer's address
since it returns unexpectedly the backend tuple instead of the service one.
Therefore, this trivial patch allows to customise and adds a getpeername()
as well as getsockname() BPF cgroup hook for both IPv4 and IPv6 in order
to address this situation.
Simple example:
# ./cilium/cilium service list
ID Frontend Service Type Backend
1 1.2.3.4:80 ClusterIP 1 => 10.0.0.10:80
Before; curl's verbose output example, no getpeername() reverse xlation:
# curl --verbose 1.2.3.4
* Rebuilt URL to: 1.2.3.4/
* Trying 1.2.3.4...
* TCP_NODELAY set
* Connected to 1.2.3.4 (10.0.0.10) port 80 (#0)
> GET / HTTP/1.1
> Host: 1.2.3.4
> User-Agent: curl/7.58.0
> Accept: */*
[...]
After; with getpeername() reverse xlation:
# curl --verbose 1.2.3.4
* Rebuilt URL to: 1.2.3.4/
* Trying 1.2.3.4...
* TCP_NODELAY set
* Connected to 1.2.3.4 (1.2.3.4) port 80 (#0)
> GET / HTTP/1.1
> Host: 1.2.3.4
> User-Agent: curl/7.58.0
> Accept: */*
[...]
Originally, I had both under a BPF_CGROUP_INET{4,6}_GETNAME type and exposed
peer to the context similar as in inet{,6}_getname() fashion, but API-wise
this is suboptimal as it always enforces programs having to test for ctx->peer
which can easily be missed, hence BPF_CGROUP_INET{4,6}_GET{PEER,SOCK}NAME split.
Similarly, the checked return code is on tnum_range(1, 1), but if a use case
comes up in future, it can easily be changed to return an error code instead.
Helper and ctx member access is the same as with connect/sendmsg/etc hooks.
