Hi, I'm Simone and I'm new to this community. Lately, I've been working on in-kernel traffic analysis with eBPF and the newest features released in the latest kernel versions (queue/stack, batch operations,...). For some reason, I couldn't help but notice that Queues and Stacks bpf map types don't support batch operations at all, and I was wondering why. Is there any reason why this decision has been made or it is just temporary and you are planning to implement it later on?
The initial implementation targets to specific use cases for hash and array maps. Yes, queue and stack batch operations could be supported. The necessary infrastructure and example implementation for hash/array maps are in the kernel tree. You or anyone interested are welcome to take a try.
Reference file: linux/kernel/bpf/queue_stack_maps.c (and all the others belonging to the same directory) Thanks in advance, Regards, Simone
