Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v3 0/2] bpf/flow_dissector: add mode to enforce
 global BPF flow dissector

While having a per-net-ns flow dissector programs is convenient for
testing, security-wise it's better to have only one vetted global
flow dissector implementation.

Let's have a convention that when BPF flow dissector is installed
in the root namespace, child namespaces can't override it.

The intended use-case is to attach global BPF flow dissector
early from the init scripts/systemd. Attaching global dissector
is prohibited if some non-root namespace already has flow dissector
attached. Also, attaching to non-root namespace is prohibited
when there is flow dissector attached to the root namespace.

v3:
* drop extra check and empty line (Andrii Nakryiko)

v2:
* EPERM -> EEXIST (Song Liu)
* Make sure we don't have dissector attached to non-root namespaces
  when attaching the global one (Andrii Nakryiko)
