[PATCH v3 1/3] netfilter: Make xt_cgroup independent from net_cls

From: Michal Koutný
Date: Tue Apr 01 2025 - 07:59:21 EST


The xt_group matching supports the default hierarchy since commit
c38c4597e4bf3 ("netfilter: implement xt_cgroup cgroup2 path match").
The cgroup v1 matching (based on clsid) and cgroup v2 matching (based on
path) are rather independent. Downgrade the Kconfig dependency to
mere CONFIG_SOCK_GROUP_DATA so that xt_group can be built even without
CONFIG_NET_CLS_CGROUP for path matching.
Also add a message for users when they attempt to specify any clsid.
