It would be very useful to retrieve the net_cls's classid from an eBPF
program to allow for a more fine-grained classification, it could be
directly used or in conjunction with additional policies. I.e. docker,
but also tooling such as cgexec, can easily run applications via net_cls
cgroups:
cgcreate -g net_cls:/foo
echo 42 > foo/net_cls.classid
cgexec -g net_cls:foo <prog>
Thus, their respecitve classid cookie of foo can then be looked up on
the egress path to apply further policies. The helper is desigend such
that a non-zero value returns the cgroup id.
