netfilter: xt_bpf: Fix XT_BPF_MODE_FD_PINNED mode of 'xt_bpf_info_v1'
Commit 2c16d6033264 ("netfilter: xt_bpf: support ebpf") introduced support for attaching an eBPF object by an fd, with the 'bpf_mt_check_v1' ABI expecting the '.fd' to be specified upon each IPT_SO_SET_REPLACE call. However this breaks subsequent iptables calls: # iptables -A INPUT -m bpf --object-pinned /sys/fs/bpf/xxx -j ACCEPT # iptables -A INPUT -s 5.6.7.8 -j ACCEPT iptables: Invalid argument. Run `dmesg' for more information. That's because iptables works by loading existing rules using IPT_SO_GET_ENTRIES to userspace, then issuing IPT_SO_SET_REPLACE with the replacement set. However, the loaded 'xt_bpf_info_v1' has an arbitrary '.fd' number (from the initial "iptables -m bpf" invocation) - so when 2nd invocation occurs, userspace passes a bogus fd number, which leads to 'bpf_mt_check_v1' to fail. One suggested solution [1] was to hack iptables userspace, to perform a "entries fixup" immediatley after IPT_SO_GET_ENTRIES, by opening a new, process-local fd per every 'xt_bpf_info_v1' entry seen. However, in [2] both Pablo Neira Ayuso and Willem de Bruijn suggested to depricate the xt_bpf_info_v1 ABI dealing with pinned ebpf objects. This fix changes the XT_BPF_MODE_FD_PINNED behavior to ignore the given '.fd' and instead perform an in-kernel lookup for the bpf object given the provided '.path'. It also defines an alias for the XT_BPF_MODE_FD_PINNED mode, named XT_BPF_MODE_PATH_PINNED, to better reflect the fact that the user is expected to provide the path of the pinned object. Existing XT_BPF_MODE_FD_ELF behavior (non-pinned fd mode) is preserved.
