[PATCH bpf-next v3 0/5] bpf: expose bpf_{g,s}et_retval to more cgroup hooks

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Apparently, only a small subset of cgroup hooks actually falls
back to cgroup_base_func_proto. This leads to unexpected result
where not all cgroup helpers have bpf_{g,s}et_retval.

It's getting harder and harder to manage which helpers are exported
to which hooks. We now have the following call chains:

- cg_skb_func_proto
  - sk_filter_func_proto
    - bpf_sk_base_func_proto
      - bpf_base_func_proto

So by looking at cg_skb_func_proto it's pretty hard to understand
what's going on.

For cgroup helpers, I'm proposing we do the following instead:

  func_proto = cgroup_common_func_proto();
  if (func_proto) return func_proto;

  /* optional, if hook has 'current' */
  func_proto = cgroup_current_func_proto();
  if (func_proto) return func_proto;

  ...

  switch (func_id) {
  /* hook specific helpers */
  case BPF_FUNC_hook_specific_helper:
    return &xyz;
  default:
    /* always fall back to plain bpf_base_func_proto */
    bpf_base_func_proto(func_id);
  }

If this turns out more workable, we can follow up with converting
the rest to the same pattern.

v3:
- expose strtol/strtoul everywhere (Martin)
- move helpers declarations from bpf.h to bpf-cgroup.h (Martin)
- revise bpf_{g,s}et_retval documentation (Martin)
- don't expose bpf_{g,s}et_retval to cg_skb hooks (Martin)

v2:
- move everything into kernel/bpf/cgroup.c instead (Martin)
- use cgroup_common_func_proto in lsm (Martin)

Stanislav Fomichev (5):
  bpf: Introduce cgroup_{common,current}_func_proto
  bpf: Use cgroup_{common,current}_func_proto in more hooks
  bpf: expose bpf_strtol and bpf_strtoul to all program types
  bpf: update bpf_{g,s}et_retval documentation
  selftests/bpf: Make sure bpf_{g,s}et_retval is exposed everywhere
