This patch series introduce batch ops that can be added to bpf maps to
lookup/lookup_and_delete/update/delete more than 1 element at the time,
this is specially useful when syscall overhead is a problem and in case
of hmap it will provide a reliable way of traversing them.
The implementation inclues a generic approach that could potentially be
used by any bpf map and adds it to arraymap, it also includes the specific
implementation of hashmaps which are traversed using buckets instead
of keys.
The bpf syscall subcommands introduced are:
BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_BATCH
BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_AND_DELETE_BATCH
BPF_MAP_UPDATE_BATCH
BPF_MAP_DELETE_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 and out_batch are only used for lookup and lookup_and_delete since
those are the only two operations that attempt to traverse the map.
update/delete batch ops should provide the keys/values that user wants
to modify.
Here are the previous discussions on the batch processing:

Changelog since RFC:
- Change batch to in_batch and out_batch to support more flexible opaque
values to iterate the bpf maps.
- Remove update/delete specific batch ops for htab and use the generic
implementations instead.
