Add support for separation of eBPF program load and xsk socket creation. This is needed for use-case when you want to privide as little privileges as possible to the data plane application that will handle xsk socket creation and incoming traffic. With this patch the data entity container can be run with only CAP_NET_RAW capability to fulfill its purpose of creating xsk socket and handling packages. In case your umem is larger or equal process limit for MEMLOCK you need either increase the limit or CAP_IPC_LOCK capability. To resolve privileges issue two APIs are introduced: - xsk_setup_xdp_prog - loads the built in XDP program. It can also return xsks_map_fd which is needed by unprivileged process to update xsks_map with AF_XDP socket "fd" - xsk_socket__update_xskmap - inserts an AF_XDP socket into an xskmap for a particular xsk_socket Signed-off-by: Mariusz Dudek <mariuszx.dudek@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Acked-by: Magnus Karlsson <magnus.karlsson@intel.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20201203090546.11976-2-mariuszx.dudek@intel.com
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
