@ -86,6 +86,20 @@ then the next program in the chain (A) will see those changes,

Large optval
|
||||
============
|
||||
When the ``optval`` is greater than the ``PAGE_SIZE``, the BPF program
|
||||
can access only the first ``PAGE_SIZE`` of that data. So it has to options:
|
||||
|
||||
* Set ``optlen`` to zero, which indicates that the kernel should
|
||||
use the original buffer from the userspace. Any modifications
|
||||
done by the BPF program to the ``optval`` are ignored.
|
||||
* Set ``optlen`` to the value less than ``PAGE_SIZE``, which
|
||||
indicates that the kernel should use BPF's trimmed ``optval``.
|
||||
|
||||
When the BPF program returns with the ``optlen`` greater than
|
||||
``PAGE_SIZE``, the userspace will receive ``EFAULT`` errno.
