====================
This set is to allow bpf tcp iter to call bpf_(get|set)sockopt.
With bpf-tcp-cc, new algo rollout happens more often. Instead of
restarting the applications to pick up the new tcp-cc, this set
allows the bpf tcp iter to call bpf_(get|set)sockopt(TCP_CONGESTION).
It is not limited to TCP_CONGESTION, the bpf tcp iter can call
bpf_(get|set)sockopt() with other options. The bpf tcp iter can read
into all the fields of a tcp_sock, so there is a lot of flexibility
to select the desired sk to do setsockopt(), e.g. it can test for
TCP_LISTEN only and leave the established connections untouched,
or check the addr/port, or check the current tcp-cc name, ...etc.
Patch 1-4 are some cleanup and prep work in the tcp and bpf seq_file.
Patch 5 is to have the tcp seq_file iterate on the
port+addr lhash2 instead of the port only listening_hash.
Patch 6 is to have the bpf tcp iter doing batching which
then allows lock_sock. lock_sock is needed for setsockopt.
Patch 7 allows the bpf tcp iter to call bpf_(get|set)sockopt.
v2:
- Use __GFP_NOWARN in patch 6
- Add bpf_getsockopt() in patch 7 to give a symmetrical user experience.
selftest in patch 8 is changed to also cover bpf_getsockopt().
- Remove CAP_NET_ADMIN check in patch 7. Tracing bpf prog has already
required CAP_SYS_ADMIN or CAP_PERFMON.
- Move some def macros to bpf_tracing_net.h in patch 8
