As an aside (and probably something more generally useful), it seems
like we have a bpf_iter__bpf_map iterator, but we don't have prog and
link iterators implemented. Would it be a good idea to add that to the
kernel? Yonghong, Alexei, any thoughts?
We already have program iterator. We have discussed link iterators
for sometime. As more and more usages for links, a link iterator
should be good to improve performance compared to generic 'task/file'
iterator.
Are those discussions about link iterators captured somewhere in the
mailing list, could you point me to them?
We could have mentioned link iterators in various occasions as it is
natural to extend beyond progs/maps, but I don't remember a dedicated
discussion around this.
