    bpf: Add bpf_cgroup_ancestor() kfunc · 5ca78670
    David Vernet authored
    struct cgroup * objects have a variably sized struct cgroup *ancestors[]
    field which stores pointers to their ancestor cgroups. If using a cgroup
    as a kptr, it can be useful to access these ancestors, but doing so
    requires variable offset accesses for PTR_TO_BTF_ID, which is currently
    unsupported.
    
    This is a very useful field to access for cgroup kptrs, as programs may
    wish to walk their ancestor cgroups when determining e.g. their
    proportional cpu.weight. So as to enable this functionality with cgroup
    kptrs before var_off is supported for PTR_TO_BTF_ID, this patch adds a
    bpf_cgroup_ancestor() kfunc which accesses the cgroup node on behalf of
    the caller, and acquires a reference on it. Once var_off is supported
    for PTR_TO_BTF_ID, and fields inside a struct can be marked as trusted
    so they retain the PTR_TRUSTED modifier when walked, this can be
    removed.
