Jakub Sitnicki says: ==================== This patch set prepares ground for link-based multi-prog attachment for future netns attach types, with BPF_SK_LOOKUP attach type in mind [0]. Two changes are needed in order to attach and run a series of BPF programs: 1) an bpf_prog_array of programs to run (patch #2), and 2) a list of attached links to keep track of attachments (patch #3). Nothing changes for BPF flow_dissector. Just as before only one program can be attached to netns. In v3 I've simplified patch #2 that introduces bpf_prog_array to take advantage of the fact that it will hold at most one program for now. In particular, I'm no longer using bpf_prog_array_copy. It turned out to be less suitable for link operations than I thought as it fails to append the same BPF program. bpf_prog_array_replace_item is also gone, because we know we always want to replace the first element in prog_array. Naturally the code that handles bpf_prog_array will need change once more when there is a program type that allows multi-prog attachment. But I feel it will be better to do it gradually and present it together with tests that actually exercise multi-prog code paths. [0] https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/[email protected]/ v2 -> v3: - Don't check if run_array is null in link update callback. (Martin) - Allow updating the link with the same BPF program. (Andrii) - Add patch #4 with a test for the above case. - Kill bpf_prog_array_replace_item. Access the run_array directly. - Switch from bpf_prog_array_copy() to bpf_prog_array_alloc(1, ...). - Replace rcu_deref_protected & RCU_INIT_POINTER with rcu_replace_pointer. - Drop Andrii's Ack from patch #2. Code changed. v1 -> v2: - Show with a (void) cast that bpf_prog_array_replace_item() return value is ignored on purpose. (Andrii) - Explain why bpf-cgroup cannot replace programs in bpf_prog_array based on bpf_prog pointer comparison in patch #2 description.
