[PATCH v2 1/2 bpf-next] bpf: Add bpf_cgroup_from_id() kfunc

From: Tejun Heo
Date: Wed Feb 22 2023 - 20:29:21 EST


cgroup ID is an userspace-visible 64bit value uniquely identifying a given
cgroup. As the IDs are used widely, it's useful to be able to look up the
matching cgroups. Add bpf_cgroup_from_id().

v2: Separate out selftest into its own patch as suggested by Alexei.

-Another kfunc available for interacting with ``struct cgroup *`` objects is
-bpf_cgroup_ancestor(). This allows callers to access the ancestor of a cgroup,
-and return it as a cgroup kptr.
+Other kfuncs available for interacting with ``struct cgroup *`` objects are
+bpf_cgroup_ancestor() and bpf_cgroup_from_id(), allowing callers to access
+the ancestor of a cgroup and find a cgroup by its ID, respectively. Both
+return a cgroup kptr.

Eventually, BPF should be updated to allow this to happen with a normal memory
load in the program itself. This is currently not possible without more work in
the verifier. bpf_cgroup_ancestor() can be used as follows:
