The socket destroy kfunc is used to forcefully terminate sockets from certain BPF contexts. We plan to use the capability in Cilium load-balancing to terminate client sockets that continue to connect to deleted backends. The other use case is on-the-fly policy enforcement where existing socket connections prevented by policies need to be forcefully terminated. The kfunc also allows terminating sockets that may or may not be actively sending traffic. The kfunc can currently be called only from BPF TCP and UDP iterators where users can filter, and terminate selected sockets. More specifically, it can only be called from BPF contexts that ensure socket locking in order to allow synchronous execution of protocol specific `diag_destroy` handlers. The previous commit that batches UDP sockets during iteration facilitated a synchronous invocation of the UDP destroy callback from BPF context by skipping socket locks in `udp_abort`. TCP iterator already supported batching of sockets being iterated. To that end, `tracing_iter_filter` callback filter is added so that verifier can restrict the kfunc to programs with `BPF_TRACE_ITER` attach type, and reject other programs. The kfunc takes `sock_common` type argument, even though it expects, and casts them to a `sock` pointer. This enables the verifier to allow the sock_destroy kfunc to be called for TCP with `sock_common` and UDP with `sock` structs. Furthermore, as `sock_common` only has a subset of certain fields of `sock`, casting pointer to the latter type might not always be safe for certain sockets like request sockets, but these have a special handling in the diag_destroy handlers. Additionally, the kfunc is defined with `KF_TRUSTED_ARGS` flag to avoid the cases where a `PTR_TO_BTF_ID` sk is obtained by following another pointer. eg. getting a sk pointer (may be even NULL) by following another sk pointer. The pointer socket argument passed in TCP and UDP iterators is tagged as `PTR_TRUSTED` in {tcp,udp}_reg_info. The TRUSTED arg changes are contributed by Martin KaFai Lau <martin.lau@kernel.org>.
