The addition of map_flags BPF_SOCKMAP_STRPARSER flags was to handle a
specific use case where we want to have BPF parse program disabled on
an entry in a sockmap.
However, Alexei found the API a bit cumbersome and I agreed. Lets
remove the STRPARSER flag and support the use case by allowing socks
to be in multiple maps. This allows users to create two maps one with
programs attached and one without. When socks are added to maps they
now inherit any programs attached to the map. This is a nice
generalization and IMO improves the API.
The API rules are less ambiguous and do not need a flag:
- When a sock is added to a sockmap we have two cases,
i. The sock map does not have any attached programs so
we can add sock to map without inheriting bpf programs.
The sock may exist in 0 or more other maps.
ii. The sock map has an attached BPF program. To avoid duplicate
bpf programs we only add the sock entry if it does not have
an existing strparser/verdict attached, returning -EBUSY if
a program is already attached. Otherwise attach the program
and inherit strparser/verdict programs from the sock map.
This allows for socks to be in a multiple maps for redirects and
inherit a BPF program from a single map.
Also this patch simplifies the logic around BPF_{EXIST|NOEXIST|ANY}
flags. In the original patch I tried to be extra clever and only
update map entries when necessary. Now I've decided the complexity
is not worth it. If users constantly update an entry with the same
sock for no reason (i.e. update an entry without actually changing
any parameters on map or sock) we still do an alloc/release. Using
this and allowing multiple entries of a sock to exist in a map the
logic becomes much simpler.
Note: Now that multiple maps are supported the "maps" pointer called
when a socket is closed becomes a list of maps to remove the sock from.
To keep the map up to date when a sock is added to the sockmap we must
add the map/elem in the list. Likewise when it is removed we must
remove it from the list. This results in searching the per psock list
on delete operation. On TCP_CLOSE events we walk the list and remove
the psock from all map/entry locations. I don't see any perf
implications in this because at most I have a psock in two maps. If
a psock were to be in many maps its possibly this might be noticeable
on delete but I can't think of a reason to dup a psock in many maps.
The sk_callback_lock is used to protect read/writes to the list. This
was convenient because in all locations we were taking the lock
anyways just after working on the list. Also the lock is per sock so
in normal cases we shouldn't see any contention.
