One thing that I find a bit odd from this API is that BPF_TC_INGRESS / BPF_TC_EGRESS
needs to be set each time via bpf_tc_ctx_init(). So whenever a specific program would
be attached to both we need to 're-init' in between just to change from hook a to b,
whereas when you have BPF_TC_CUSTOM_PARENT, you could just use a different opts->parent
without going this detour (unless the clsact wasn't loaded there in the first place).

Currently I check that opts->parent is unset when BPF_TC_INGRESS or BPF_TC_EGRESS
is set as attach point. But since both map to clsact, we could allow the user to
specify opts->parent as BPF_TC_INGRESS or BPF_TC_EGRESS (no need to use
TC_H_MAKE, we can detect it from ctx->parent that it won't be a parent id). This
would mean that by default attach point is what you set for ctx, but for
bpf_tc_attach you can temporarily override to be some other attach point (for
the same qdisc). You still won't be able to set anything other than the two
though.

I think the assumption on auto-detecting the parent id in that case might not hold given
major number could very well be 0. Wrt BPF_TC_UNSPEC ... maybe it's not even needed, back
to drawing board ...

Here's how the whole API could look like, usage examples below:

  enum bpf_tc_attach_point {
	BPF_TC_INGRESS = 1 << 0,
	BPF_TC_EGRESS  = 1 << 1,
	BPF_TC_CUSTOM  = 1 << 2,
  };

  enum bpf_tc_attach_flags {
	BPF_TC_F_REPLACE = 1 << 0,
  };

  struct bpf_tc_hook {
	size_t sz;
	int    ifindex;
	enum bpf_tc_attach_point which;
	__u32  parent;
	size_t :0;
  };

  struct bpf_tc_opts {
	size_t sz;
	__u32  handle;
	__u16  priority;
	union {
		int   prog_fd;
		__u32 prog_id;
	};
	size_t :0;
  };

  LIBBPF_API int bpf_tc_hook_create(struct bpf_tc_hook *hook);
  LIBBPF_API int bpf_tc_hook_destroy(struct bpf_tc_hook *hook);

  LIBBPF_API int bpf_tc_attach(const struct bpf_tc_hook *hook, const struct bpf_tc_opts *opts, int flags);
  LIBBPF_API int bpf_tc_detach(const struct bpf_tc_hook *hook, const struct bpf_tc_opts *opts);
  LIBBPF_API int bpf_tc_query(const struct bpf_tc_hook *hook, struct bpf_tc_opts *opts);

So a user could do just:

  DECLARE_LIBBPF_OPTS(bpf_tc_hook, hook, .ifindex = 42, .which = BPF_TC_INGRESS);
  DECLARE_LIBBPF_OPTS(bpf_tc_opts, opts, .handle = 1, .priority = 1, .prog_fd = fd);

  err = bpf_tc_attach(&hook, &opts, BPF_TC_F_REPLACE);
  [...]

If it's not known whether the hook exists, then a preceding call to:

  err = bpf_tc_hook_create(&hook);
  [...]

The bpf_tc_query() would look like:

  DECLARE_LIBBPF_OPTS(bpf_tc_hook, hook, .ifindex = 42, .which = BPF_TC_EGRESS);
  DECLARE_LIBBPF_OPTS(bpf_tc_opts, opts, .handle = 1, .priority = 1);

  err = bpf_tc_query(&hook, &opts);
  if (!err) {
         [...]  // gives access to: opts.prog_id
  }

The bpf_tc_detach():

  DECLARE_LIBBPF_OPTS(bpf_tc_hook, hook, .ifindex = 42, .which = BPF_TC_INGRESS);
  DECLARE_LIBBPF_OPTS(bpf_tc_opts, opts, .handle = 1, .priority = 1);

  err = bpf_tc_detach(&hook, &opts);
  [...]

The nice thing would be that hook and opts are kept semantically separate, meaning with
hook you can iterate though a bunch of devs and ingress/egress locations without changing
opts, whereas with opts you could iterate on the cls_bpf instance itself w/o changing
hook. Both are kept extensible via DECLARE_LIBBPF_OPTS().

Now the bpf_tc_hook_destroy() one:

  DECLARE_LIBBPF_OPTS(bpf_tc_hook, hook, .ifindex = 42, .which = BPF_TC_INGRESS|BPF_TC_EGRESS);

  err = bpf_tc_hook_destroy(&hook, &opts);
  [...]

For triggering a remove of the clsact qdisc on the device, both directions are passed in.
Combining both is only ever allowed for bpf_tc_hook_destroy().

If /only/ BPF_TC_INGRESS or only BPF_TC_EGRESS is passed, it could flush their lists (aka
equivalent of `tc filter del dev eth0 ingress` and `tc filter del dev eth0 egress` command).

For bpf_tc_hook_{create,destroy}() with BPF_TC_CUSTOM, we just return -EINVAL or -EOPNOTSUPP.

I think the above interface would work nicely and feels intuitive while being extensible.
Thoughts?

Thanks,
Daniel
