2017-11-05	bpf: report offload info to user space	Jakub Kicinski	1	-0/+12
	Extend struct bpf_prog_info to contain information about program being bound to a device. Since the netdev may get destroyed while program still exists we need a flag to indicate the program is loaded for a device, even if the device is gone.

2017-11-05	bpf: offload: add infrastructure for loading programs for a specific netdev	Jakub Kicinski	1	-0/+182
	The fact that we don't know which device the program is going to be used on is quite limiting in current eBPF infrastructure. We have to reverse or limit the changes which kernel makes to the loaded bytecode if we want it to be offloaded to a networking device. We also have to invent new APIs for debugging and troubleshooting support. Make it possible to load programs for a specific netdev. This helps us to bring the debug information closer to the core eBPF infrastructure (e.g. we will be able to reuse the verifer log in device JIT). It allows device JITs to perform translation on the original bytecode. __bpf_prog_get() when called to get a reference for an attachment point will now refuse to give it if program has a device assigned. Following patches will add a version of that function which passes the expected netdev in. @type argument in __bpf_prog_get() is renamed to attach_type to make it clearer that it's only set on attachment. All calls to ndo_bpf are protected by rtnl, only verifier callbacks are not. We need a wait queue to make sure netdev doesn't get destroyed while verifier is still running and calling its driver.
