But I did document this semantic change, quite verbosely too
at that :)

Classification should be done when the packet is enqueued.  So
you shouldn't really see other people's traffic.

The original requeueing would have broken this too, but that is
no longer with us :)

In my original submission I forgot to mention the case of TCP
transmission triggered by an incoming ACK, which is really the
same case as this.

So let me take this opportunity to resubmit with an updated
description:

cls_cgroup: Store classid in struct sock

Up until now cls_cgroup has relied on fetching the classid out of
the current executing thread.  This runs into trouble when a packet
processing is delayed in which case it may execute out of another
thread's context.

Furthermore, even when a packet is not delayed we may fail to
classify it if soft IRQs have been disabled, because this scenario
is indistinguishable from one where a packet unrelated to the
current thread is processed by a real soft IRQ.

In fact, the current semantics is inherently broken, as a single
skb may be constructed out of the writes of two different tasks.
A different manifestation of this problem is when the TCP stack
transmits in response of an incoming ACK.  This is currently
unclassified.

As we already have a concept of packet ownership for accounting
purposes in the skb->sk pointer, this is a natural place to store
the classid in a persistent manner.

This patch adds the cls_cgroup classid in struct sock, filling up
an existing hole on 64-bit :)

The value is set at socket creation time.  So all sockets created
via socket(2) automatically gains the ID of the thread creating it.
Now you may argue that this may not be the same as the thread that
is sending the packet.  However, we already have a precedence where
an fd is passed to a different thread, its security property is
inherited.  In this case, inheriting the classid of the thread
creating the socket is also the logical thing to do.

For sockets created on inbound connections through accept(2), we
inherit the classid of the original listening socket through
sk_clone, possibly preceding the actual accept(2) call.

In order to minimise risks, I have not made this the authoritative
classid.  For now it is only used as a backup when we execute
with soft IRQs disabled.  Once we're completely happy with its
semantics we can use it as the sole classid.

Footnote: I have rearranged the error path on cls_group module
creation.  If we didn't do this, then there is a window where
someone could create a tc rule using cls_group before the cgroup
subsystem has been registered.
