Merge branch 'sockmap-fixes'
John Fastabend says:
====================
sockmap fixes for net
The following implements a set of fixes for sockmap and changes the
API slightly in a few places to reduce preempt_disable/enable scope.
We do this here in net because it requires an API change and this
avoids getting stuck with legacy API going forward.
The short description:
Access to skb mark is removed, it is problematic when we add
features in the future because mark is a union and used by the
TCP/socket code internally. We don't want to expose this to the
BPF programs or let programs change the values.
The other change is caching metadata in the skb itself between
when the BPF program returns a redirect code and the core code
implements the redirect. This avoids having per cpu metadata.
Finally, tighten restriction on using sockmap to CAP_NET_ADMIN and
only SOCK_STREAM sockets.
