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
