This commit introduces generic support for the bpf_map_lookup_batch.
This implementation can be used by almost all the bpf maps since its core
implementation is relying on the existing map_get_next_key and
map_lookup_elem. The bpf syscall subcommand introduced is:
BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_BATCH
The UAPI attribute is:
struct { /* struct used by BPF_MAP_*_BATCH commands */
__aligned_u64 in_batch; /* start batch,
* NULL to start from beginning
*/
__aligned_u64 out_batch; /* output: next start batch */
__aligned_u64 keys;
__aligned_u64 values;
__u32 count; /* input/output:
* input: # of key/value
* elements
* output: # of filled elements
*/
__u32 map_fd;
__u64 elem_flags;
__u64 flags;
} batch;
in_batch/out_batch are opaque values use to communicate between
user/kernel space, in_batch/out_batch must be of key_size length.
To start iterating from the beginning in_batch must be null,
count is the # of key/value elements to retrieve. Note that the 'keys'
buffer must be a buffer of key_size * count size and the 'values' buffer
must be value_size * count, where value_size must be aligned to 8 bytes
by userspace if it's dealing with percpu maps. 'count' will contain the
number of keys/values successfully retrieved. Note that 'count' is an
input/output variable and it can contain a lower value after a call.
If there's no more entries to retrieve, ENOENT will be returned. If error
is ENOENT, count might be > 0 in case it copied some values but there were
no more entries to retrieve.
Note that if the return code is an error and not -EFAULT,
count indicates the number of elements successfully processed.
