The +assumption is that an userspace application initiating a DSS session +also takes care of the necessary framing of the DSS data, presenting +the stream to the end user in an appropriate way for the stream type. + +The network device ABI requires a dummy ethernet header for every DSS +data frame being transported.

Userspace applications supporting specific MBIM DSS services +are expected to use the tools and programming interfaces required by +that service. + +Note that adding VLAN links for DSS sessions is entirely optional. A +management application may instead choose to bind a packet socket +directly to the master network device, using the received VLAN tags to +map frames to the correct DSS session and adding 18 byte VLAN ethernet +headers with the appropriate tag on TX. In this case using a socket +filter is recommended, matching only the DSS VLAN subset. This avoid +unnecessary copying of unrelated IP session data to userspace. For +example: + + static struct sock_filter dssfilter[] = { + /* use special negative offsets to get VLAN tag */ + BPF_STMT(BPF_LD|BPF_B|BPF_ABS, SKF_AD_OFF + SKF_AD_VLAN_TAG_PRESENT), + BPF_JUMP(BPF_JMP|BPF_JEQ|BPF_K, 1, 0, 6), /* true */ + + /* verify DSS VLAN range */ + BPF_STMT(BPF_LD|BPF_H|BPF_ABS, SKF_AD_OFF + SKF_AD_VLAN_TAG), + BPF_JUMP(BPF_JMP|BPF_JGE|BPF_K, 256, 0, 4), /* 256 is first DSS VLAN */ + BPF_JUMP(BPF_JMP|BPF_JGE|BPF_K, 512, 3, 0), /* 511 is last DSS VLAN */ + + /* verify ethertype */ + BPF_STMT(BPF_LD|BPF_H|BPF_ABS, 2 * ETH_ALEN), + BPF_JUMP(BPF_JMP|BPF_JEQ|BPF_K, ETH_P_802_3, 0, 1), + + BPF_STMT(BPF_RET|BPF_K, (u_int)-1), /* accept */ + BPF_STMT(BPF_RET|BPF_K, 0), /* ignore */ + }; + + + +Tagged IP session 0 VLAN +------------------------ +As described above, MBIM IP session 0 is treated as special by the +driver.

Registers R1-R5 are scratch registers +and must not be used to store the data across BPF_ABS | BPF_LD or +BPF_IND | BPF_LD instructions. + +These instructions have implicit program exit condition as well. When +eBPF program is trying to access the data beyond the packet boundary, +the interpreter will abort the execution of the program. JIT compilers +therefore must preserve this property. src_reg and imm32 fields are +explicit inputs to these instructions. + +For example: + + BPF_IND | BPF_W | BPF_LD means: + + R0 = ntohl(*(u32 *) (((struct sk_buff *) R6)->data + src_reg + imm32)) + and R1 - R5 were scratched. + +Unlike classic BPF instruction set, eBPF has generic load/store operations: + +BPF_MEM | <size> | BPF_STX: *(size *) (dst_reg + off) = src_reg +BPF_MEM | <size> | BPF_ST: *(size *) (dst_reg + off) = imm32 +BPF_MEM | <size> | BPF_LDX: dst_reg = *(size *) (src_reg + off) +BPF_XADD | BPF_W | BPF_STX: lock xadd *(u32 *)(dst_reg + off16) += src_reg +BPF_XADD | BPF_DW | BPF_STX: lock xadd *(u64 *)(dst_reg + off16) += src_reg + +Where size is one of: BPF_B or BPF_H or BPF_W or BPF_DW. Note that 1 and +2 byte atomic increments are not supported. + +Testing +------- + +Next to the BPF toolchain, the kernel also ships a test module that contains +various test cases for classic and internal BPF that can be executed against +the BPF interpreter and JIT compiler. It can be found in lib/test_bpf.c and +enabled via Kconfig: + + CONFIG_TEST_BPF=m + +After the module has been built and installed, the test suite can be executed +via insmod or modprobe against 'test_bpf' module. Results of the test cases +including timings in nsec can be found in the kernel log (dmesg). + Misc ---- |
