Copyright (C) 2022 Meta Platforms, Inc. and affiliates. ========================= BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGRP_STORAGE ========================= The ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGRP_STORAGE`` map type represents a local fix-sized storage for cgroups. It is only available with ``CONFIG_CGROUPS``. The programs are made available by the same Kconfig. The data for a particular cgroup can be retrieved by looking up the map with that cgroup. This document describes the usage and semantics of the ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGRP_STORAGE`` map type. Usage ===== The map key must be ``sizeof(int)`` representing a cgroup fd. To access the storage in a program, use ``bpf_cgrp_storage_get``:: void *bpf_cgrp_storage_get(struct bpf_map *map, struct cgroup *cgroup, void *value, u64 flags) ``flags`` could be 0 or ``BPF_LOCAL_STORAGE_GET_F_CREATE`` which indicates that a new local storage will be created if one does not exist. The local storage can be removed with ``bpf_cgrp_storage_delete``:: long bpf_cgrp_storage_delete(struct bpf_map *map, struct cgroup *cgroup) The map is available to all program types. Examples ======== A BPF program example with BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGRP_STORAGE:: #include <vmlinux.h> #include <bpf/bpf_helpers.h> #include <bpf/bpf_tracing.h> struct { __uint(type, BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGRP_STORAGE); __uint(map_flags, BPF_F_NO_PREALLOC); __type(key, int); __type(value, long); } cgrp_storage SEC(".maps"); SEC("tp_btf/sys_enter") int BPF_PROG(on_enter, struct pt_regs *regs, long id) { struct task_struct *task = bpf_get_current_task_btf(); long *ptr; ptr = bpf_cgrp_storage_get(&cgrp_storage, task->cgroups->dfl_cgrp, 0, BPF_LOCAL_STORAGE_GET_F_CREATE); if (ptr) __sync_fetch_and_add(ptr, 1); return 0; } Userspace accessing map declared above:: #include <linux/bpf.h> #include <linux/libbpf.h> __u32 map_lookup(struct bpf_map *map, int cgrp_fd) { __u32 *value; value = bpf_map_lookup_elem(bpf_map__fd(map), &cgrp_fd); if (value) return *value; return 0; } Difference Between BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGRP_STORAGE and BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_STORAGE ============================================================================ The old cgroup storage map ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_STORAGE`` has been marked as deprecated (renamed to ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_STORAGE_DEPRECATED``). The new ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGRP_STORAGE`` map should be used instead. The following illusates the main difference between ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGRP_STORAGE`` and ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_STORAGE_DEPRECATED``. (1). ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGRP_STORAGE`` can be used by all program types while ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_STORAGE_DEPRECATED`` is available only to cgroup program types like BPF_CGROUP_INET_INGRESS or BPF_CGROUP_SOCK_OPS, etc. (2). ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGRP_STORAGE`` supports local storage for more than one cgroup while ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_STORAGE_DEPRECATED`` only supports one cgroup which is attached by a BPF program. (3). ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_STORAGE_DEPRECATED`` allocates local storage at attach time so ``bpf_get_local_storage()`` always returns non-NULL local storage. ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGRP_STORAGE`` allocates local storage at runtime so it is possible that ``bpf_cgrp_storage_get()`` may return null local storage. To avoid such null local storage issue, user space can do ``bpf_map_update_elem()`` to pre-allocate local storage before a BPF program is attached. (4). ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGRP_STORAGE`` supports deleting local storage by a BPF program while ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_STORAGE_DEPRECATED`` only deletes storage during prog detach time. So overall, ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGRP_STORAGE`` supports all ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_STORAGE_DEPRECATED`` functionality and beyond. It is recommended to use ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGRP_STORAGE`` instead of ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_STORAGE_DEPRECATED``.
