Looks like nft_meta_set_eval() can already do that, but restricted

from tc as well, probably it makes sense to add a generic helper as
in skb_pkt_type_mangle() and place it into skbuff.h?



Ok, will do with next update.

cheers,

I'm wondering if this is a good idea, I was thinking about something
like this as well some time ago.


Good ;-> What was your uses case?
In my case it is mostly to allow packets coming into the system
with the wrong MAC address (but correct IP address).
I dont want to keep checking what the MAC address is and adding
a rule to change it before it goes up the stack.


Yeah, had the same use-case here. ;)


So far pkt_type is just exposed as
read-only to user space right now and I'm a bit worried that when we
allow to set it arbitrarily, then this could lead to hard to debug
issues since skb->pkt_type is used in a lot of places with possibly
different assumptions and applications now need to mistrust the kernel
whether skb->pkt_type was actually what the kernel itself set in the
first place or skbedit with possibly some nonsense value (like rewriting
PACKET_OUTGOING into PACKET_LOOPBACK, etc).


Separation of church from state.
In Unix we allow people to shoot their big toe if they want to.
If someone wants to change the destination MAC address to something
stupid they can. If someone wants to set the skbmark they can.
They'll find out it is a bad idea pretty quickly if it was not
what they intended. This is no different.


Did you audit that this is safe?


Do you see a security issue? then that would need an audit.
