Helper function bpf_xdp_adjust_tail

v4.18

Definition

Copyright (c) 2015 The Libbpf Authors. All rights reserved.

Adjust (move) xdp_md->data_end by delta bytes. It is possible to both shrink and grow the packet tail. Shrink done via delta being a negative integer.

A call to this helper is susceptible to change the underlying packet buffer. Therefore, at load time, all checks on pointers previously done by the verifier are invalidated and must be performed again, if the helper is used in combination with direct packet access.

Returns

0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.

static long (* const bpf_xdp_adjust_tail)(struct xdp_md *xdp_md, int delta) = (void *) 65;
