commit1e9d74660dupstream. We noticed our tc ebpf tools can't start after we upgrade our in-house kernel version from 4.19 to 5.10. That is because of the behaviour change in bpffs caused by commitd2935de7e4("vfs: Convert bpf to use the new mount API"). In our tc ebpf tools, we do strict environment check. If the environment is not matched, we won't allow to start the ebpf progs. One of the check is whether bpffs is properly mounted. The mount information of bpffs in kernel-4.19 and kernel-5.10 are as follows: - kernel 4.19 $ mount -t bpf bpffs /sys/fs/bpf $ mount -t bpf bpffs on /sys/fs/bpf type bpf (rw,relatime) - kernel 5.10 $ mount -t bpf bpffs /sys/fs/bpf $ mount -t bpf none on /sys/fs/bpf type bpf (rw,relatime) The device name in kernel-5.10 is displayed as none instead of bpffs, then our environment check fails. Currently we modify the tools to adopt to the kernel behaviour change, but I think we'd better change the kernel code to keep the behavior consistent. After this change, the mount information will be displayed the same with the behavior in kernel-4.19, for example: $ mount -t bpf bpffs /sys/fs/bpf $ mount -t bpf bpffs on /sys/fs/bpf type bpf (rw,relatime) Fixes:d2935de7e4("vfs: Convert bpf to use the new mount API") Suggested-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net> Signed-off-by: Yafang Shao <laoar.shao@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net> Acked-by: Christian Brauner <christian.brauner@ubuntu.com> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20220108134623.32467-1-laoar.shao@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
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.
