Martin KaFai says: ==================== This set is to allow bpf tcp iter to call bpf_(get|set)sockopt. With bpf-tcp-cc, new algo rollout happens more often. Instead of restarting the applications to pick up the new tcp-cc, this set allows the bpf tcp iter to call bpf_(get|set)sockopt(TCP_CONGESTION). It is not limited to TCP_CONGESTION, the bpf tcp iter can call bpf_(get|set)sockopt() with other options. The bpf tcp iter can read into all the fields of a tcp_sock, so there is a lot of flexibility to select the desired sk to do setsockopt(), e.g. it can test for TCP_LISTEN only and leave the established connections untouched, or check the addr/port, or check the current tcp-cc name, ...etc. Patch 1-4 are some cleanup and prep work in the tcp and bpf seq_file. Patch 5 is to have the tcp seq_file iterate on the port+addr lhash2 instead of the port only listening_hash. Patch 6 is to have the bpf tcp iter doing batching which then allows lock_sock. lock_sock is needed for setsockopt. Patch 7 allows the bpf tcp iter to call bpf_(get|set)sockopt. v2: - Use __GFP_NOWARN in patch 6 - Add bpf_getsockopt() in patch 7 to give a symmetrical user experience. selftest in patch 8 is changed to also cover bpf_getsockopt(). - Remove CAP_NET_ADMIN check in patch 7. Tracing bpf prog has already required CAP_SYS_ADMIN or CAP_PERFMON. - Move some def macros to bpf_tracing_net.h in patch 8 ==================== Signed-off-by: Andrii Nakryiko <andrii@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.
