When a bad bpf prog '.init' calls bpf_setsockopt(TCP_CONGESTION, "itself"), it will trigger this loop: .init => bpf_setsockopt(tcp_cc) => .init => bpf_setsockopt(tcp_cc) ... ... => .init => bpf_setsockopt(tcp_cc). It was prevented by the prog->active counter before but the prog->active detection cannot be used in struct_ops as explained in the earlier patch of the set. In this patch, the second bpf_setsockopt(tcp_cc) is not allowed in order to break the loop. This is done by using a bit of an existing 1 byte hole in tcp_sock to check if there is on-going bpf_setsockopt(TCP_CONGESTION) in this tcp_sock. Note that this essentially limits only the first '.init' can call bpf_setsockopt(TCP_CONGESTION) to pick a fallback cc (eg. peer does not support ECN) and the second '.init' cannot fallback to another cc. This applies even the second bpf_setsockopt(TCP_CONGESTION) will not cause a loop.

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.
