Subject: [PATCH bpf v2 0/3] bpf: two fixes for bpf iterators

Patch #1 fixed a rcu stall warning when traversing large number
of tasks/files without overflowing seq_file buffer. The method
is to control the number of visited objects in bpf_seq_read()
so all bpf iterators will benefit.

Patch #2 calculated tid properly in a namespace in order to avoid
visiting the name task multiple times.

Patch #3 handled read() error code EAGAIN properly in bpftool
bpf_iter userspace code to collect pids. The change is needed
due to Patch #1.

Yonghong Song (3):
  bpf: fix a rcu_sched stall issue with bpf task/task_file iterator
  bpf: avoid visit same object multiple times
  bpftool: handle EAGAIN error code properly in pids collection
