+From 501fa6c60d303f0d6e747939172281d77247626e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
+From: Alexander Filippov <a.filippov@yadro.com>

+Subject: [PATCH] core: fix the check if CONFIG_CGROUP_BPF is on
+
+Since the commit torvalds/linux@fdb5c4531c1e0e50e609df83f736b6f3a02896e2
+the syscall BPF_PROG_ATTACH return EBADF when CONFIG_CGROUP_BPF is
+turned off and as result the bpf_firewall_supported() returns the
+incorrect value.
+
+This commmit replaces the syscall BPF_PROG_ATTACH with BPF_PROG_DETACH
+which is still work as expected.
+
+Resolves openbmc/linux#159
+See also systemd/systemd#7054
