90% of the time there is only one prog per device, but I need to have
more than one for the following reasons:
- when one prog is loaded, the output data gets modified, so to be able
to access the raw data from the device I need to add a "tracing" program
*before* the one that changes data to forward raw data to userspace
- we already have situation where for convenience multiple programs are
attached to one device (see drivers/hid/bpf/progs/XPPen__ArtistPro16Gen2.bpf.c)
- once firewalling will be in place, we will likely have one program for
the firewall and one for the device fix

yes

see patch 8/13, all the tracing capabilities are gone.
I made a backward compatibility step here so I do not break the
selftests while changing the API.

So I would have to adapt this include for struct_ops?

See the selftests (and my external loader, udev-hid-bpf):
map = bpf_object__find_map_by_name(*self->skel->skeleton->obj,
programs[i].name + 4);
ASSERT_OK_PTR(map) TH_LOG("can not find struct_ops by name '%s'",
programs[i].name + 4);
/* hid_id is the first field of struct hid_bpf_ops */
ops_hid_id = bpf_map__initial_value(map, NULL);
ASSERT_OK_PTR(ops_hid_id) TH_LOG("unable to retrieve struct_ops data");
*ops_hid_id = self->hid_id;
Basically, I want to have to deal with .bpf.o and not the skeletons for
the generic case. I want to be able to drop a file in /lib/firmware/hid
and have udev-hid-bpf load it without having to recompile udev-hid-bpf.
I couldn't seem to be able to access the struct_ops BTF information from
libbpf, so I decided to have hid_id and flags first and consider this to
be ABI while I figure out how to get to the real offsets :)

I agree, but I had a few cons:
- right now, I can recompile the same bpf.c with just a -D in the
cflags. Both types of program are compatible, which allows to write
the file once and recompile it for both pre/post struct_ops.
This will be very useful while HID-BPF struct_ops is not in mainline
distributions
- I need to have access to a few things: the struct hid_device, and the
incoming buffer. And I don't think I can teach the verifier about the
incoming buffer size without having to store it into a dedicated
struct, which results into the same hid_bpf_ctx...
- I like how hid_bpf_allocate_context() works with the same struct that
can be later used with the same functions hid_bpf_input_event() or
such (arguably I could return the struct hid_device directly)
I'll try to give it more thoughts :)

Thanks!
I agree, relying on struct_ops allowed to do a heavy cleanup in my code,
and TBH, even if I had only one callback, I think the gain is clear,
because it's much straightforward and you can also authorize some fine
grain write on your own structs (like changing the name of the
hid_device, or its flags, which is not part of this series, but which
will likely come later).
Cheers,
Benjamin
