Commit a5cbe05a66 ("bpf: Implement bpf iterator for
map elements") added bpf iterator support for
map elements. The map element bpf iterator requires
info to identify a particular map. In the above
commit, the attr->link_create.target_fd is used
to carry map_fd and an enum bpf_iter_link_info
is added to uapi to specify the target_fd actually
representing a map_fd:
enum bpf_iter_link_info {
BPF_ITER_LINK_UNSPEC = 0,
BPF_ITER_LINK_MAP_FD = 1,
MAX_BPF_ITER_LINK_INFO,
};
This is an extensible approach as we can grow
enumerator for pid, cgroup_id, etc. and we can
unionize target_fd for pid, cgroup_id, etc.
But in the future, there are chances that
more complex customization may happen, e.g.,
for tasks, it could be filtered based on
both cgroup_id and user_id.
This patch changed the uapi to have fields
__aligned_u64 iter_info;
__u32 iter_info_len;
for additional iter_info for link_create.
The iter_info is defined as
union bpf_iter_link_info {
struct {
__u32 map_fd;
} map;
};
So future extension for additional customization
will be easier. The bpf_iter_link_info will be
passed to target callback to validate and generic
bpf_iter framework does not need to deal it any
more.
Note that map_fd = 0 will be considered invalid
and -EBADF will be returned to user space.
