Document BPF_F_QUERY_EFFECTIVE flag, mostly to clarify how it affects attach_flags what may not be obvious and what may lead to confision. Specifically attach_flags is returned only for target_fd but if programs are inherited from an ancestor cgroup then returned attach_flags for current cgroup may be confusing. For example, two effective programs of same attach_type can be returned but w/o BPF_F_ALLOW_MULTI in attach_flags. Simple repro: # bpftool c s /sys/fs/cgroup/path/to/task ID AttachType AttachFlags Name # bpftool c s /sys/fs/cgroup/path/to/task effective ID AttachType AttachFlags Name 95043 ingress tw_ipt_ingress 95048 ingress tw_ingress Signed-off-by: Andrey Ignatov <rdna@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Acked-by: Song Liu <songliubraving@fb.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20200108014006.938363-1-rdna@fb.com
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.
