No, not really, assuming bpf_get_current_task() helper is available
for those programs. Something like this should work, can't really
check because I don't know what classid value is supposed to be, but
all the relocations succeed, so at least typing wise it should be
good:
#include "vmlinux.h"
#include <bpf/bpf_helpers.h>
#include <bpf/bpf_core_read.h>
static __always_inline u32 get_cgroup_classid(void)
{
struct task_struct *task = (void *)bpf_get_current_task();
struct cgroup_cls_state *state = (void *)BPF_CORE_READ(task,
cgroups, subsys[net_cls_cgrp_id]);
return BPF_CORE_READ(state, classid);
}
I've cheated with conversion from `struct cgroup_subsys_state *` to
`struct cgroup_cls_state *`, given that they match right now. But it
is possible to have relocatable equivalent of container_of() macro for
CO-RE, I'd be happy to play with that and provide it as part of
bpf_core_read.h, if necessary.
Hope this clarifies what I meant by implementing with CO-RE.
