Udip Pant says: ==================== This patch series adds changes in verifier to make decisions such as granting of read / write access or enforcement of return code status based on the program type of the target program while using dynamic program extension (of type BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT). The BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT type can be used to extend types such as XDP, SKB and others. Since the BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT program type on itself is just a placeholder for those, we need this extended check for those extended programs to actually work with proper access, while using this option. Patch #1 includes changes in the verifier. Patch #2 adds selftests to verify write access on a packet for a valid extension program type Patch #3 adds selftests to verify proper check for the return code Patch #4 adds selftests to ensure access permissions and restrictions for some map types such sockmap. Changelogs: v2 -> v3: * more comprehensive resolution of the program type in the verifier based on the target program (and not just for the packet access) * selftests for checking return code and map access * Also moved this patch to 'bpf-next' from 'bpf' tree v1 -> v2: * extraction of the logic to resolve prog type into a separate method * selftests to check for packet access for a valid freplace prog ==================== Acked-by: Yonghong Song <yhs@fb.com> Acked-by: Toke Høiland-Jørgensen <toke@redhat.com> 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.
