[PATCH bpf-next 2/3] mptcp: attach subflow socket to parent cgroup

From: Nicolas Rybowski
Date: Fri Aug 21 2020 - 11:19:15 EST


It has been observed that the kernel sockets created for the subflows
(except the first one) are not in the same cgroup as their parents.
That's because the additional subflows are created by kernel workers.

This is a problem with eBPF programs attached to the parent's
cgroup won't be executed for the children. But also with any other features
of CGroup linked to a sk.

This patch fixes this behaviour.

As the subflow sockets are created by the kernel, we can't use
'mem_cgroup_sk_alloc' because of the current context being the one of the
kworker. This is why we have to do low level memcg manipulation, if
required.
