Andrii Nakryiko says: ==================== This patch set adds ability to memory-map BPF array maps (single- and multi-element). The primary use case is memory-mapping BPF array maps, created to back global data variables, created by libbpf implicitly. This allows for much better usability, along with avoiding syscalls to read or update data completely. Due to memory-mapping requirements, BPF array map that is supposed to be memory-mapped, has to be created with special BPF_F_MMAPABLE attribute, which triggers slightly different memory allocation strategy internally. See patch 1 for details. Libbpf is extended to detect kernel support for this flag, and if supported, will specify it for all global data maps automatically. Patch #1 refactors bpf_map_inc() and converts bpf_map's refcnt to atomic64_t to make refcounting never fail. Patch #2 does similar refactoring for bpf_prog_add()/bpf_prog_inc(). v5->v6: - add back uref counting (Daniel); v4->v5: - change bpf_prog's refcnt to atomic64_t (Daniel); v3->v4: - add mmap's open() callback to fix refcounting (Johannes); - switch to remap_vmalloc_pages() instead of custom fault handler (Johannes); - converted bpf_map's refcnt/usercnt into atomic64_t; - provide default bpf_map_default_vmops handling open/close properly; v2->v3: - change allocation strategy to avoid extra pointer dereference (Jakub); v1->v2: - fix map lookup code generation for BPF_F_MMAPABLE case; - prevent BPF_F_MMAPABLE flag for all but plain array map type; - centralize ref-counting in generic bpf_map_mmap(); - don't use uref counting (Alexei); - use vfree() directly; - print flags with %x (Song); - extend tests to verify bpf_map_{lookup,update}_elem() logic as well. ==================== Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
