One thing that will easily slip through is that in the helper description you mentioned 'Check cannot use len_diff.' for BPF_MTU_CHK_SEGS flag. So right now for non-zero len_diff the user will still get BPF_MTU_CHK_RET_SUCCESS if the current length check via skb_gso_validate_network_len(skb, mtu) passes. If it cannot be checked, maybe enforce len_diff == 0 for gso skbs on BPF_MTU_CHK_SEGS?Ok. Do you want/think this can be enforced by the verifier or are you simply requesting that the helper will return -EINVAL (or another errno)?Simple -EINVAL should be fine in this case. Generally, we can detect this from verifier side but I don't think the extra complexity is worth it especially given this is dependent on BPF_MTU_CHK_SEGS and otherwise can be non-zero.
Luckily this was also my choice in V13 that I've already send out. https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/161159457239.321749.9067604476261493815.stgit@firesoul/ (local) -- Best regards, Jesper Dangaard Brouer MSc.CS, Principal Kernel Engineer at Red Hat LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/brouer
