Subject: [PATCH net-next v4 0/3] net: Add bpf support to set sk_bound_dev_if

The recently added VRF support in Linux leverages the bind-to-device
API for programs to specify an L3 domain for a socket. While
SO_BINDTODEVICE has been around for ages, not every ipv4/ipv6 capable
program has support for it. Even for those programs that do support it,
the API requires processes to be started as root (CAP_NET_RAW) which
is not desirable from a general security perspective.

This patch set leverages Daniel Mack's work to attach bpf programs to
a cgroup to provide a capability to set sk_bound_dev_if for all
AF_INET{6} sockets opened by a process in a cgroup when the sockets
are allocated.

For example:
 1. configure vrf (e.g., using ifupdown2)
        auto eth0
        iface eth0 inet dhcp
            vrf mgmt

        auto mgmt
        iface mgmt
            vrf-table auto

 2. configure cgroup
        mount -t cgroup2 none /tmp/cgroupv2
        mkdir /tmp/cgroupv2/mgmt
        test_cgrp2_sock /tmp/cgroupv2/mgmt 15

 3. set shell into cgroup (e.g., can be done at login using pam)
        echo $$ >> /tmp/cgroupv2/mgmt/cgroup.procs

At this point all commands run in the shell (e.g, apt) have sockets
automatically bound to the VRF (see output of ss -ap 'dev == <vrf>'),
including processes not running as root.

This capability enables running any program in a VRF context and is key
to deploying Management VRF, a fundamental configuration for networking
gear, with any Linux OS installation.

David Ahern (3):
  bpf: Refactor cgroups code in prep for new type
  bpf: Add new cgroup attach type to enable sock modifications
  samples: bpf: add userspace example for modifying sk_bound_dev_if
