bpf: Support "sk_buff" and "xdp_buff" as valid kfunc arg types

Browse source

The bpf mirror of the in-kernel sk_buff and xdp_buff data structures are
__sk_buff and xdp_md. Currently, when we pass in the program ctx to a
kfunc where the program ctx is a skb or xdp buffer, we reject the
program if the in-kernel definition is sk_buff/xdp_buff instead of
__sk_buff/xdp_md.

This change allows "sk_buff <--> __sk_buff" and "xdp_buff <--> xdp_md"
to be recognized as valid matches. The user program may pass in their
program ctx as a __sk_buff or xdp_md, and the in-kernel definition
of the kfunc may define this arg as a sk_buff or xdp_buff.
