XFRM is disabled for compatible users because of the UABI difference.
The difference is in structures paddings and in the result the size
of netlink messages differ.
Possibility for compatible application to manage xfrm tunnels was
disabled by: the commmit 19d7df69fdb2 ("xfrm: Refuse to insert 32 bit
userspace socket policies on 64 bit systems") and the commit 74005991b78a
("xfrm: Do not parse 32bits compiled xfrm netlink msg on 64bits host").
This is my second attempt to resolve the xfrm/compat problem by adding
the 64=>32 and 32=>64 bit translators those non-visibly to a user
provide translation between compatible user and kernel.
Previous attempt was to interrupt the message ABI according to a syscall
by xfrm_user, which resulted in over-complicated code [1].
Florian Westphal provided the idea of translator and some draft patches
in the discussion. In these patches, his idea is reused and some of his
initial code is also present.
Currently nlmsg_unicast() is used by functions that dump structures that
can be different in size for compat tasks, see dump_one_state() and
dump_one_policy().
The following nlmsg_unicast() users exist today in xfrm:
Function | Message can be different
| in size on compat
-------------------------------------------|------------------------------
xfrm_get_spdinfo() | N
xfrm_get_sadinfo() | N
xfrm_get_sa() | Y
xfrm_alloc_userspi() | Y
xfrm_get_policy() | Y
xfrm_get_ae() | N
Besides, dump_one_state() and dump_one_policy() can be used by filtered
netlink dump for XFRM_MSG_GETSA, XFRM_MSG_GETPOLICY.
Just as for xfrm multicast, allocate frag_list for compat skb journey
down to recvmsg() which will give user the desired skb according to
syscall bitness.
