net: filter: cleanup invocation of internal BPF
Kernel API for classic BPF socket filters is: sk_unattached_filter_create() - validate classic BPF, convert, JIT SK_RUN_FILTER() - run it sk_unattached_filter_destroy() - destroy socket filter Cleanup internal BPF kernel API as following: sk_filter_select_runtime() - final step of internal BPF creation. Try to JIT internal BPF program, if JIT is not available select interpreter SK_RUN_FILTER() - run it sk_filter_free() - free internal BPF program Disallow direct calls to BPF interpreter. Execution of the BPF program should be done with SK_RUN_FILTER() macro. Example of internal BPF create, run, destroy: struct sk_filter *fp; fp = kzalloc(sk_filter_size(prog_len), GFP_KERNEL); memcpy(fp->insni, prog, prog_len * sizeof(fp->insni[0])); fp->len = prog_len; sk_filter_select_runtime(fp); SK_RUN_FILTER(fp, ctx); sk_filter_free(fp); Sockets, seccomp, testsuite, tracing are using different ways to populate sk_filter, so first steps of program creation are not common.
