[PATCH v2 bpf-next 18/30] bpf: fail BPF_TOKEN_CREATE if no delegation option was set on BPF FS

From: Andrii Nakryiko <andrii@kernel.org>
Date: 2024-01-24 02:22:37
Also in: bpf, linux-fsdevel, linux-security-module
Subsystem: bpf [general] (safe dynamic programs and tools), the rest · Maintainers: Alexei Starovoitov, Daniel Borkmann, Andrii Nakryiko, Eduard Zingerman, Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi, Linus Torvalds

It's quite confusing in practice when it's possible to successfully
create a BPF token from BPF FS that didn't have any of delegate_xxx
mount options set up. While it's not wrong, it's actually more
meaningful to reject BPF_TOKEN_CREATE with specific error code (-ENOENT)
to let user-space know that no token delegation is setup up.

So, instead of creating empty BPF token that will be always ignored
because it doesn't have any of the allow_xxx bits set, reject it with
-ENOENT. If we ever need empty BPF token to be possible, we can support
that with extra flag passed into BPF_TOKEN_CREATE.
