Alexei Starovoitov 084af57c51 Merge branch 'fix-sockmap-flow_dissector-uapi'
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

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.
