@@ -98,10 +98,65 @@ can access only the first ``PAGE_SIZE`` of that data. So it has to options:
indicates that the kernel should use BPF's trimmed ``optval``.
When the BPF program returns with the ``optlen`` greater than
-``PAGE_SIZE``, the userspace will receive ``EFAULT`` errno.
+``PAGE_SIZE``, the userspace will receive original kernel

Example
=======
+Recommended way to handle BPF programs is as follows:

+ SEC("cgroup/getsockopt")
+ int getsockopt(struct bpf_sockopt *ctx)

+ if (ctx->level == MY_SOL && ctx->optname == MY_OPTNAME) {

+ optval[0] = ...;

+ /* Modify kernel's socket option. */
+ if (ctx->level == SOL_IP && ctx->optname == IP_FREEBIND) {
+ ctx->retval = 0;
+ optval[0] = ...;
+ ctx->optlen = 1;

+ /* optval larger than PAGE_SIZE use kernel's buffer. */
