Date: Sat, 1 Aug 2020 21:21:26 -0700 From: Yonghong Song <yhs@...com> To: <bpf@...r.kernel.org>, <netdev@...r.kernel.org> CC: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@...nel.org>, Daniel Borkmann <daniel@...earbox.net>, <kernel-team@...com> Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 0/2] bpf: change uapi for bpf iterator map elements Andrii raised a concern that current uapi for bpf iterator map element is a little restrictive and not suitable for future potential complex customization. This is a valid suggestion, considering people may indeed add more complex custimization to the iterator, e.g., cgroup_id + user_id, etc. for task or task_file. Another example might be map_id plus additional control so that the bpf iterator may bail out a bucket earlier if a bucket has too many elements which may hold lock too long and impact other parts of systems. Patch #1 modified uapi with kernel changes. Patch #2 adjusted libbpf api accordingly.
