Subject: [PATCH v2 bpf-next 2/5] bpf: Introduce bpf_cgroup_read_xattr to read xattr of cgroup's node
Date: Thu, 19 Jun 2025 15:01:11 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250619220114.3956120-3-song@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250619220114.3956120-1-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 folders.
Introduce kfunc bpf_cgroup_read_xattr, which allows reading cgroup's
xattr.
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.
