bpf: Document EFAULT changes for sockopt

Browse Source 
And add examples for how to correctly handle large optlens.
This is less relevant now when we don't EFAULT anymore, but
that's still the correct thing to do.

@ -98,10 +98,65 @@ can access only the first ``PAGE_SIZE`` of that data. So it has to options:
indicates that the kernel should use BPF's trimmed ``optval``. indicates that the kernel should use BPF's trimmed ``optval``.
When the BPF program returns with the ``optlen`` greater than When the BPF program returns with the ``optlen`` greater than
``PAGE_SIZE``, the userspace will receive ``EFAULT`` errno. ``PAGE_SIZE``, the userspace will receive original kernel
buffers without any modifications that the BPF program might have
applied.
Example Example
======= =======
Recommended way to handle BPF programs is as follows:
.. code-block:: c
SEC("cgroup/getsockopt")
int getsockopt(struct bpf_sockopt *ctx)
{
/* Custom socket option. */
if (ctx->level == MY_SOL && ctx->optname == MY_OPTNAME) {
ctx->retval = 0;
optval[0] = ...;
ctx->optlen = 1;
return 1;
}
/* Modify kernel's socket option. */
if (ctx->level == SOL_IP && ctx->optname == IP_FREEBIND) {
ctx->retval = 0;
optval[0] = ...;
ctx->optlen = 1;
return 1;
}
/* optval larger than PAGE_SIZE use kernel's buffer. */
if (ctx->optlen > PAGE_SIZE)
ctx->optlen = 0;
return 1;
}
SEC("cgroup/setsockopt")
int setsockopt(struct bpf_sockopt *ctx)
{
/* Custom socket option. */
if (ctx->level == MY_SOL && ctx->optname == MY_OPTNAME) {
/* do something */
ctx->optlen = -1;
return 1;
}
/* Modify kernel's socket option. */
if (ctx->level == SOL_IP && ctx->optname == IP_FREEBIND) {
optval[0] = ...;
return 1;
}
/* optval larger than PAGE_SIZE use kernel's buffer. */
if (ctx->optlen > PAGE_SIZE)
ctx->optlen = 0;
return 1;
}
