From f1a2e44a3aeccb3ff18d3ccc0b0203e70b95bd92 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mauricio Vasquez B Date: Thu, 18 Oct 2018 15:16:25 +0200 Subject: bpf: add queue and stack maps Queue/stack maps implement a FIFO/LIFO data storage for ebpf programs. These maps support peek, pop and push operations that are exposed to eBPF programs through the new bpf_map[peek/pop/push] helpers. Those operations are exposed to userspace applications through the already existing syscalls in the following way: BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_ELEM -> peek BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_AND_DELETE_ELEM -> pop BPF_MAP_UPDATE_ELEM -> push Queue/stack maps are implemented using a buffer, tail and head indexes, hence BPF_F_NO_PREALLOC is not supported. As opposite to other maps, queue and stack do not use RCU for protecting maps values, the bpf_map[peek/pop] have a ARG_PTR_TO_UNINIT_MAP_VALUE argument that is a pointer to a memory zone where to save the value of a map. Basically the same as ARG_PTR_TO_UNINIT_MEM, but the size has not be passed as an extra argument. Our main motivation for implementing queue/stack maps was to keep track of a pool of elements, like network ports in a SNAT, however we forsee other use cases, like for exampling saving last N kernel events in a map and then analysing from userspace.
