bpf: cgroup: Allow multi-attach program to replace itself
When using BPF_PROG_ATTACH to attach a program to a cgroup in BPF_F_ALLOW_MULTI mode, it is not possible to replace a program with itself. This is because the check for duplicate programs doesn't take the replacement program into account. Replacing a program with itself might seem weird, but it has some uses: first, it allows resetting the associated cgroup storage. Second, it makes the API consistent with the non-ALLOW_MULTI usage, where it is possible to replace a program with itself. Third, it aligns BPF_PROG_ATTACH with bpf_link, where replacing itself is also supported. Sice this code has been refactored a few times this change will only apply to v5.7 and later. Adjustments could be made to commit 1020c1f24a94 ("bpf: Simplify __cgroup_bpf_attach") and commit d7bf2c10af05 ("bpf: allocate cgroup storage entries on attaching bpf programs") as well as commit 324bda9e6c5a ("bpf: multi program support for cgroup+bpf") Fixes: af6eea57437a ("bpf: Implement bpf_link-based cgroup BPF program attachment") Signed-off-by: Lorenz Bauer <lmb@cloudflare.com> Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20200608162202.94002-1-lmb@cloudflare.com
