1.. SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 2 3============================ 4BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SOCKOPT 5============================ 6 7``BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SOCKOPT`` program type can be attached to two 8cgroup hooks: 9 10* ``BPF_CGROUP_GETSOCKOPT`` - called every time process executes ``getsockopt`` 11 system call. 12* ``BPF_CGROUP_SETSOCKOPT`` - called every time process executes ``setsockopt`` 13 system call. 14 15The context (``struct bpf_sockopt``) has associated socket (``sk``) and 16all input arguments: ``level``, ``optname``, ``optval`` and ``optlen``. 17 18BPF_CGROUP_SETSOCKOPT 19===================== 20 21``BPF_CGROUP_SETSOCKOPT`` is triggered *before* the kernel handling of 22sockopt and it has writable context: it can modify the supplied arguments 23before passing them down to the kernel. This hook has access to the cgroup 24and socket local storage. 25 26If BPF program sets ``optlen`` to -1, the control will be returned 27back to the userspace after all other BPF programs in the cgroup 28chain finish (i.e. kernel ``setsockopt`` handling will *not* be executed). 29 30Note, that ``optlen`` can not be increased beyond the user-supplied 31value. It can only be decreased or set to -1. Any other value will 32trigger ``EFAULT``. 33 34Return Type 35----------- 36 37* ``0`` - reject the syscall, ``EPERM`` will be returned to the userspace. 38* ``1`` - success, continue with next BPF program in the cgroup chain. 39 40BPF_CGROUP_GETSOCKOPT 41===================== 42 43``BPF_CGROUP_GETSOCKOPT`` is triggered *after* the kernel handing of 44sockopt. The BPF hook can observe ``optval``, ``optlen`` and ``retval`` 45if it's interested in whatever kernel has returned. BPF hook can override 46the values above, adjust ``optlen`` and reset ``retval`` to 0. If ``optlen`` 47has been increased above initial ``getsockopt`` value (i.e. userspace 48buffer is too small), ``EFAULT`` is returned. 49 50This hook has access to the cgroup and socket local storage. 51 52Note, that the only acceptable value to set to ``retval`` is 0 and the 53original value that the kernel returned. Any other value will trigger 54``EFAULT``. 55 56Return Type 57----------- 58 59* ``0`` - reject the syscall, ``EPERM`` will be returned to the userspace. 60* ``1`` - success: copy ``optval`` and ``optlen`` to userspace, return 61 ``retval`` from the syscall (note that this can be overwritten by 62 the BPF program from the parent cgroup). 63 64Cgroup Inheritance 65================== 66 67Suppose, there is the following cgroup hierarchy where each cgroup 68has ``BPF_CGROUP_GETSOCKOPT`` attached at each level with 69``BPF_F_ALLOW_MULTI`` flag:: 70 71 A (root, parent) 72 \ 73 B (child) 74 75When the application calls ``getsockopt`` syscall from the cgroup B, 76the programs are executed from the bottom up: B, A. First program 77(B) sees the result of kernel's ``getsockopt``. It can optionally 78adjust ``optval``, ``optlen`` and reset ``retval`` to 0. After that 79control will be passed to the second (A) program which will see the 80same context as B including any potential modifications. 81 82Same for ``BPF_CGROUP_SETSOCKOPT``: if the program is attached to 83A and B, the trigger order is B, then A. If B does any changes 84to the input arguments (``level``, ``optname``, ``optval``, ``optlen``), 85then the next program in the chain (A) will see those changes, 86*not* the original input ``setsockopt`` arguments. The potentially 87modified values will be then passed down to the kernel. 88 89Large optval 90============ 91When the ``optval`` is greater than the ``PAGE_SIZE``, the BPF program 92can access only the first ``PAGE_SIZE`` of that data. So it has to options: 93 94* Set ``optlen`` to zero, which indicates that the kernel should 95 use the original buffer from the userspace. Any modifications 96 done by the BPF program to the ``optval`` are ignored. 97* Set ``optlen`` to the value less than ``PAGE_SIZE``, which 98 indicates that the kernel should use BPF's trimmed ``optval``. 99 100When the BPF program returns with the ``optlen`` greater than 101``PAGE_SIZE``, the userspace will receive ``EFAULT`` errno. 102 103Example 104======= 105 106See ``tools/testing/selftests/bpf/progs/sockopt_sk.c`` for an example 107of BPF program that handles socket options. 108
