bpf: Change uapi for bpf iterator map elements
Commit a5cbe05a ("bpf: Implement bpf iterator for map elements") added bpf iterator support for map elements. The map element bpf iterator requires info to identify a particular map. In the above commit, the attr->link_create.target_fd is used to carry map_fd and an enum bpf_iter_link_info is added to uapi to specify the target_fd actually representing a map_fd: enum bpf_iter_link_info { BPF_ITER_LINK_UNSPEC = 0, BPF_ITER_LINK_MAP_FD = 1, MAX_BPF_ITER_LINK_INFO, }; This is an extensible approach as we can grow enumerator for pid, cgroup_id, etc. and we can unionize target_fd for pid, cgroup_id, etc. But in the future, there are chances that more complex customization may happen, e.g., for tasks, it could be filtered based on both cgroup_id and user_id. This patch changed the uapi to have fields __aligned_u64 iter_info; __u32 iter_info_len; for additional iter_info for link_create. The iter_info is defined as union bpf_iter_link_info { struct { __u32 map_fd; } map; }; So future extension for additional customization will be easier. The bpf_iter_link_info will be passed to target callback to validate and generic bpf_iter framework does not need to deal it any more. Note that map_fd = 0 will be considered invalid and -EBADF will be returned to user space.
