Such a scheme works for the socket create filter b/c it is a very simple use case. It does not work for the ingress and egress which allow generic bpf filters.

I think the point is that a group hierarchy makes no sense for the VRF use case. What I put into iproute2 is
cgrp2/vrf/NAME
where NAME is the vrf name. The filter added to it binds ipv4 and ipv6 sockets to a specific device index. cgrp2/vrf is the "default" vrf and does not have a filter. A user can certainly add another layer cgrp2/vrf/NAME/NAME2 but it provides no value since VRF in a VRF does not make sense.

Are you suggesting sub-cgroups should not be allowed to override the filter of a parent cgroup?
