Cgroup_iter is a type of bpf_iter. It walks over cgroups in three modes:

- walking a cgroup's descendants in pre-order.
- walking a cgroup's descendants in post-order.
- walking a cgroup's ancestors.

When attaching cgroup_iter, one can set a cgroup to the iter_link
created from attaching. This cgroup is passed as a file descriptor and
serves as the starting point of the walk. If no cgroup is specified,
the starting point will be the root cgroup.

For walking descendants, one can specify the order: either pre-order or
post-order. For walking ancestors, the walk starts at the specified
cgroup and ends at the root.

One can also terminate the walk early by returning 1 from the iter
program.

Note that because walking cgroup hierarchy holds cgroup_mutex, the iter
program is called with cgroup_mutex held.

Adding comment that cgroup_fd 0 means starting from root cgroup?
Also, if I understand correctly, cgroup v1 is also supported here, right? If this is the case, for cgroup v1 which root cgroup will be
used for cgroup_fd? It would be good to clarify here too.

We actually has a problem here although I don't have a solution yet.

Without this patch, for bpf_link_info structure, the output of pahole,

struct {

__u64 target_name __attribute__((__aligned__(8))); /* 0 8 */
__u32 target_name_len; /* 8 4 */
union {

struct {

__u32 map_id; /* 12 4 */
} map; /* 12 4 */
}; /* 12 4 */
union {
struct {
__u32 map_id; /* 0 4 */
} map; /* 0 4 */
};

} iter;

You can see map_id has the offset 12 from the beginning of 'iter' structure.

With this patch,

struct {
__u64 target_name __attribute__((__aligned__(8))); /* 0 8 */
__u32 target_name_len; /* 8 4 */

/* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */

union {
struct {
__u32 map_id; /* 16 4 */
} map; /* 16 4 */
struct {
__u32 traversal_order; /* 16 4 */

/* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */

__u64 cgroup_id; /* 24 8 */
} cgroup; /* 16 16 */
}; /* 16 16 */
union {
struct {
__u32 map_id; /* 0 4 */
} map; /* 0 4 */
struct {
__u32 traversal_order; /* 0 4 */

/* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */

__u64 cgroup_id; /* 8 8 */
} cgroup; /* 0 16 */
};

} iter;

There is a 4 byte hole after member 'target_name_len'. So map_id will
have a offset 16 from the start of structure 'iter'.


This will break uapi. We probably won't be able to change the existing
uapi with adding a ':32' after member 'target_name_len'. I don't have
a good solution yet, but any suggestion is welcome.

Also, for '__aligned_u64 cgroup_id', '__u64 cgroup_id' is enough.
'__aligned_u64' mostly used for pointers.

This might be okay. But want to check what is
the practical upper limit for cgroups in a system
and whether we may miss some cgroups. If this
happens, it will be a surprise to the user.
