Currently, the BPF cgroup iterator supports walking descendants in either pre-order (BPF_CGROUP_ITER_DESCENDANTS_PRE) or post-order (BPF_CGROUP_ITER_DESCENDANTS_POST). These modes perform an exhaustive depth-first search (DFS) of the hierarchy. In scenarios where a BPF program may need to inspect only the direct children of a given parent cgroup, a full DFS is unnecessarily expensive. This patch introduces a new BPF cgroup iterator control option, BPF_CGROUP_ITER_CHILDREN. This control option restricts the traversal to the immediate children of a specified parent cgroup, allowing for more targeted and efficient iteration, particularly when exhaustive depth-first search (DFS) traversal is not required.
