Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 2/4] bpf: Introduce bpf_kernfs_read_xattr to read xattr of kernfs nodes
Date: Wed, 18 Jun 2025 16:37:37 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250618233739.189106-3-song@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250618233739.189106-1-song@kernel.org>

BPF programs, such as LSM and sched_ext, would benefit from tags on
cgroups. One common practice to apply such tags is to set xattrs on
cgroupfs files and folders.

Introduce kfunc bpf_kernfs_read_xattr, which allows reading kernfs
xattr under RCU read lock.

Note that, we already have bpf_get_[file|dentry]_xattr. However, these
two APIs are not ideal for reading cgroupfs xattrs, because:

  1) These two APIs only works in sleepable contexts;
  2) There is no kfunc that matches current cgroup to cgroupfs dentry.
