Technical Overview
Engineering breakdown of Troubleshooting eBPF Kernel Socket Filters (3779). Bare-metal hardware performance requires isolated kernel parameters, deterministic socket filter attachment, and precise verifier compliance. This guide covers the lifecycle of a socket filter program from load-time verification to runtime attachment via setsockopt with SO_ATTACH_BPF.
Common Failure Modes
- Verifier Rejection: Instruction set violations, unbounded loops, or invalid memory accesses.
- Attachment Errors:
EPERMdue to missingCAP_SYS_ADMIN,EINVALfrom mismatched program type. - Runtime Crashes: Kernel oops triggered by out-of-bounds packet access or helper misuse.
- Performance Regression: Excessive map lookups or tail-call overhead causing packet drop.

Debugging Workflow
- Enable kernel debugfs:
mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug - Trace verifier logs:
bpftool prog showandbpftool prog dump xlated id - Use
bpftraceto monitor socket filter attach/detach events. - Capture packet drops via
tcpreplayandperf record -e skb:kfree_skb. - Analyze map contention with
bpftool map dump.
