When using BPF_PROG_ATTACH to attach a program to a cgroup in BPF_F_ALLOW_MULTI mode, it is not possible to replace a program with itself. This is because the check for duplicate programs doesn't take the replacement program into account. Replacing a program with itself might seem weird, but it has some uses: first, it allows resetting the associated cgroup storage. Second, it makes the API consistent with the non-ALLOW_MULTI usage, where it is possible to replace a program with itself. Third, it aligns BPF_PROG_ATTACH with bpf_link, where replacing itself is also supported. Sice this code has been refactored a few times this change will only apply to v5.7 and later. Adjustments could be made to commit1020c1f24a("bpf: Simplify __cgroup_bpf_attach") and commitd7bf2c10af("bpf: allocate cgroup storage entries on attaching bpf programs") as well as commit324bda9e6c("bpf: multi program support for cgroup+bpf") Fixes:af6eea5743("bpf: Implement bpf_link-based cgroup BPF program attachment") Signed-off-by: Lorenz Bauer <lmb@cloudflare.com> Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20200608162202.94002-1-lmb@cloudflare.com
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.
