Lorenz Bauer says: ==================== Both sockmap and flow_dissector ingnore various arguments passed to BPF_PROG_ATTACH and BPF_PROG_DETACH. We can fix the attach case by checking that the unused arguments are zero. I considered requiring target_fd to be -1 instead of 0, but this leads to a lot of churn in selftests. There is also precedent in that bpf_iter already expects 0 for a similar field. I think that we can come up with a work around for fd 0 should we need to in the future. The detach case is more problematic: both cgroups and lirc2 verify that attach_bpf_fd matches the currently attached program. This way you need access to the program fd to be able to remove it. Neither sockmap nor flow_dissector do this. flow_dissector even has a check for CAP_NET_ADMIN because of this. The patch set addresses this by implementing the desired behaviour. There is a possibility for user space breakage: any callers that don't provide the correct fd will fail with ENOENT. For sockmap the risk is low: even the selftests assume that sockmap works the way I described. For flow_dissector the story is less straightforward, and the selftests use a variety of arguments. I've includes fixes tags for the oldest commits that allow an easy backport, however the behaviour dates back to when sockmap and flow_dissector were introduced. What is the best way to handle these? This set is based on top of Jakub's work "bpf, netns: Prepare for multi-prog attachment" available at https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/87k0zwmhtb.fsf@cloudflare.com/T/ Since v1: - Adjust selftests - Implement detach behaviour ==================== Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
