Using bpf_sk_lookup_tcp it's possible to ascertain whether a packet belongs
to a known connection. However, there is one corner case: no sockets are
created if SYN cookies are active. This means that the final ACK in the
3WHS is misclassified.

Using the helper, we can look up the listening socket via bpf_sk_lookup_tcp
and then check whether a packet is a valid SYN cookie ACK.

From the test program in patch 3, the "sk" here is obtained from
bpf_sk_lookup_tcp() which does a sk_to_full_sk() before returning.
AFAICT, meaning bpf_sk_lookup_tcp() will return the listening sk
even if there is a request_sock.  Does it make sense to check
syncookie if there is already a request_sock?
No, that doesn't make a lot of sense. I hadn't realised that
sk_lookup_tcp only returns full sockets.
This means we need a way to detect that there is a request sock for a
given tuple.

* adding a reqsk_exists(tuple) helper means we have to pay the lookup cost twice
* drop the sk argument and do the necessary lookups in the helper
itself, but that also
  wastes a call to __inet_lookup_listener
* skip sk_to_full_sk() in a helper and return RET_PTR_TO_SOCK_COMMON,
  but that violates a bunch of assumptions (e.g. calling bpf_sk_release on them)
How about creating a new lookup helper, bpf_sk"c"_lookup_tcp,
that does not call sk_to_full_sk() before returning.
Its ".ret_type" will be RET_PTR_TO_SOCK_COMMON_OR_NULL which its
reference(-counting) state has to be tracked in the verifier also.
Mainly in check_helper_call(), iirc.

The bpf_prog can then check bpf_sock->state for TCP_LISTEN,
call bpf_tcp_sock() to get the TCP listener sock and pass to
the bpf_tcp_check_syncookie()
I've started working on this, and I've hit a snag with the reference
tracking behaviour
of bpf_tcp_sock. From what I can tell, the assumption is that a PTR_TO_TCP_SOCK
doesn't need reference tracking, because its either skb->sk or a TCP listener.
In the former case, the socket is refcounted via the sk_buff, in the
latter we don't need
to worry since the eBPF is called with the RCU read lock held.

However, non-listening sockets returned by bpf_sk_lookup_tcp, can be
freed before the
end of the eBPF program. Doing bpf_sk_lookup_tcp, bpf_tcp_sock,
bpf_sk_release allows
eBPF to gain a (read-only) reference to a freed socket. I've attached
a patch with a testcase
which illustrates this issue.

Is this the intended behaviour? If not, maybe it would be the easiest
to make bpf_tcp_sock
increase the refcount if !SOCK_RCU_FREE and require a corresponding
bpf_sk_release?
That would simplify my work to add RET_PTR_TO_SOCK_COMMON as wel..
quoted
For context: ultimately we want use this to answer the question: does
this (encapsulated)
packet contain a payload destined to a local socket? Amongst the edge
cases we need to
handle are ICMP Packet Too Big messages and SYN cookies. A solution
would be to hide
all this in an "uber" helper that takes pointers to the L3 / L4
headers and returns a verdict,
but that seems a bit gross.
Please include this use case in the commit message.
It is useful.
