Hi Zefan, Tejun,
This is causing a regression where previously cgroupv2 bpf sockops programs
could be attached and would run even if netprio_cgroup was enabled as long
as the netprio cgroup had not been configured. After this the bpf sockops
programs can still be attached but only programs attached to the root cgroup
will be run. For example I hit this when I ran bpf selftests on a box that
also happened to have netprio cgroup enabled, tests started failing after
bumping kernel to rc5.
I'm a bit on the fence here if it needs to be reverted. For my case its just
a test box and easy enough to work around. Also all the production cases I
have already have to be aware of this to avoid the configured error. So it
may be fine but worth noting at least. Added Alexei to see if he has any
opinion and/or uses net_prio+cgroubv2. I only looked it over briefly but
didn't see any simple rc6 worthy fixes that would fix the issue above and
also keep the original behavior.
And then while reviewing I also wonder do we have the same issue described
here in netclasid_cgroup.c with the cgrp_attach()? It would be best to keep
netcls and netprio in sync in this regard imo. At least netcls calls
cgroup_sk_alloc_disable in the write_classid() hook so I suspect it makes
sense to also add that to the attach hook?
Thanks,
John
