5BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGRP_STORAGE
6=========================
7
8The ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGRP_STORAGE`` map type represents a local fix-sized
9storage for cgroups. It is only available with ``CONFIG_CGROUPS``.
10The programs are made available by the same Kconfig. The
11data for a particular cgroup can be retrieved by looking up the map
12with that cgroup.
13
14This document describes the usage and semantics of the
15``BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGRP_STORAGE`` map type.
16
17Usage
18=====
19
20The map key must be ``sizeof(int)`` representing a cgroup fd.
21To access the storage in a program, use ``bpf_cgrp_storage_get``::
22
23 void *bpf_cgrp_storage_get(struct bpf_map *map, struct cgroup *cgroup, void *value, u64 flags)
24
25``flags`` could be 0 or ``BPF_LOCAL_STORAGE_GET_F_CREATE`` which indicates that
26a new local storage will be created if one does not exist.
27
28The local storage can be removed with ``bpf_cgrp_storage_delete``::
29
30 long bpf_cgrp_storage_delete(struct bpf_map *map, struct cgroup *cgroup)
31
32The map is available to all program types.

78Difference Between BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGRP_STORAGE and BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_STORAGE
79============================================================================
80
81The old cgroup storage map ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_STORAGE`` has been marked as
82deprecated (renamed to ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_STORAGE_DEPRECATED``). The new
83``BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGRP_STORAGE`` map should be used instead. The following
84illusates the main difference between ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGRP_STORAGE`` and
85``BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_STORAGE_DEPRECATED``.
86
87(1). ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGRP_STORAGE`` can be used by all program types while
88 ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_STORAGE_DEPRECATED`` is available only to cgroup program types
89 like BPF_CGROUP_INET_INGRESS or BPF_CGROUP_SOCK_OPS, etc.
90
91(2). ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGRP_STORAGE`` supports local storage for more than one
92 cgroup while ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_STORAGE_DEPRECATED`` only supports one cgroup
93 which is attached by a BPF program.
94
95(3). ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_STORAGE_DEPRECATED`` allocates local storage at attach time so
96 ``bpf_get_local_storage()`` always returns non-NULL local storage.
97 ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGRP_STORAGE`` allocates local storage at runtime so
98 it is possible that ``bpf_cgrp_storage_get()`` may return null local storage.
99 To avoid such null local storage issue, user space can do
100 ``bpf_map_update_elem()`` to pre-allocate local storage before a BPF program
101 is attached.
102
103(4). ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGRP_STORAGE`` supports deleting local storage by a BPF program
104 while ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_STORAGE_DEPRECATED`` only deletes storage during
105 prog detach time.
106
107So overall, ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGRP_STORAGE`` supports all ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_STORAGE_DEPRECATED``
108functionality and beyond. It is recommended to use ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGRP_STORAGE``
109instead of ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_STORAGE_DEPRECATED``.
