+ * Attaching another program on top of NONE or BPF_F_ALLOW_OVERRIDE will

+ * Multiple programs are allowed to be attached to a cgroup with
+ * BPF_F_ALLOW_MULTI flag. They are executed in FIFO order
+ * (those that were attached first, run first)
+ * The programs of sub-cgroup are executed first, then programs of
+ * this cgroup and then programs of parent cgroup.
+ * When children program makes decision (like picking TCP CA or sock bind)
+ * parent program has a chance to override it.
+ *
+ * A cgroup with MULTI or OVERRIDE flag allows any attach flags in sub-cgroups.
+ * A cgroup with NONE doesn't allow any programs in sub-cgroups.
+ * Ex1:
+ * cgrp1 (MULTI progs A, B) ->
+ * cgrp2 (OVERRIDE prog C) ->
+ * cgrp3 (MULTI prog D) ->
+ * cgrp4 (OVERRIDE prog E) ->
+ * cgrp5 (NONE prog F)
+ * the event in cgrp5 triggers execution of F,D,A,B in that order.
+ * if prog F is detached, the execution is E,D,A,B
+ * if prog F and D are detached, the execution is E,A,B
+ * if prog F, E and D are detached, the execution is C,A,B
+ *
+ * All eligible programs are executed regardless of return code from
