bpf: Document BPF_F_QUERY_EFFECTIVE flag
Document BPF_F_QUERY_EFFECTIVE flag, mostly to clarify how it affects attach_flags what may not be obvious and what may lead to confision. Specifically attach_flags is returned only for target_fd but if programs are inherited from an ancestor cgroup then returned attach_flags for current cgroup may be confusing. For example, two effective programs of same attach_type can be returned but w/o BPF_F_ALLOW_MULTI in attach_flags. Simple repro: # bpftool c s /sys/fs/cgroup/path/to/task ID AttachType AttachFlags Name # bpftool c s /sys/fs/cgroup/path/to/task effective ID AttachType AttachFlags Name 95043 ingress tw_ipt_ingress 95048 ingress tw_ingress Signed-off-by: Andrey Ignatov <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <[email protected]> Acked-by: Song Liu <[email protected]> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/[email protected]
