[PATCH bpf-next] bpf, sockops: Enhance the return capability of sockops

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

 



Since commit 2585cd62f098 ("bpf: Only reply field should be writeable"),
sockops is not allowd to modify the replylong field except replylong[0].
The reason is that the replylong[1] to replylong[3] field is not used
at that time.

But in actual use, we can call `BPF_CGROUP_RUN_PROG_SOCK_OPS` in the
kernel modules and expect sockops to return some useful data.

The design comment about bpf_sock_ops::replylong in 
include/uapi/linux/bpf.h is described as follows:

```
  struct bpf_sock_ops {
	__u32 op;
	union {
		__u32 args[4];		/* Optionally passed to bpf program */
		__u32 reply;		/* Returned by bpf program	    */
		__u32 replylong[4];	/* Optioznally returned by bpf prog  */
	};
  ...
```

It seems to contradict the purpose for which the field was originally
designed. Let's remove this restriction.
