This patch set allows a bunch of existing sk lookup and skb cgroup id
helpers, and adds two new bpf_sk_{,ancestor_}cgroup_id helpers to be used
in cgroup skb programs.
It fills the gap to cover a use-case to apply intra-host cgroup-bpf network
policy based on a source cgroup a packet comes from.
For example, there can be multiple containers A, B, C running on a host.
Every such container runs in its own cgroup that can have multiple
sub-cgroups. But all these containers can share some IP addresses.
At the same time container A wants to have a policy for a server S running
in it so that only clients from this same container can connect to S, but
not from other containers (such as B, C). Source IP address can't be used
to decide whether to allow or deny a packet, but it looks reasonable to
filter by cgroup id.
The patch set allows to implement the following policy:
* when an ingress packet comes to container's cgroup, lookup peer (client)
socket this packet comes from;
* having peer socket, get its cgroup id;
* compare peer cgroup id with self cgroup id and allow packet only if they
match, i.e. it comes from same cgroup;
* the "sub-cgroup" part of the story can be addressed by getting not direct
cgroup id of the peer socket, but ancestor cgroup id on specified level,
similar to existing "ancestor" flavors of cgroup id helpers.
A newly introduced selftest implements such a policy in its basic form to
provide a better idea on the use-case.
Patch 1 allows existing sk lookup helpers in cgroup skb.
Patch 2 allows skb_ancestor_cgroup_id in cgrou skb.
Patch 3 introduces two new helpers to get cgroup id of socket.
Patch 4 extends network helpers to use them in the next patch.
Patch 5 adds selftest / example of use-case.
