This patch series adds support to freeze the task cgroup hierarchy that is on a default cgroup v2 without going through kernfs interface.
For some cases we want to freeze the cgroup of a task based on some signals, doing so from bpf is better than user space which could be too late.
Planned users of this feature are: tetragon and systemd when freezing a cgroup hierarchy that could be a K8s pod, container, system service or a user session.
Patch 1: cgroup: add cgroup_freeze_no_kn() to freeze a cgroup from bpf Patch 2: bpf: add bpf_task_freeze_cgroup() to freeze the cgroup of a task Patch 3: selftests/bpf: add selftest for bpf_task_freeze_cgroup
It bothers me a bit that it's adding a dedicated interface for something which already has a defined userspace interface. Would it be better to have kfunc wrappers for kernel_read() and kernel_write()?
Thanks.
