A quick question: is ->map_for_each_callback() now mandatory for
every map? I do not see you check for NULL here. Or you check map
types somewhere I miss?

At the call site of bpf_for_each_map_elem(), verifier knows the map and ensure check map->ops->map_for_each_callback() is not null. Otherwise,
it will reject the program. So we are fine here.


At least some maps do not support iteration, for example, queue/stack.
If you can document supported maps in bpf_for_each_map_elem() doc,
it would be very nice.

Yes, will add more info in uapi/linux/bpf.h. Andrii suggested the same.


Thanks for working on this!

You are welcome.
