This patch adds the kernel-side and API changes for a new helper function, bpf_loop: long bpf_loop(u32 nr_loops, void *callback_fn, void *callback_ctx, u64 flags); where long (*callback_fn)(u32 index, void *ctx); bpf_loop invokes the "callback_fn" **nr_loops** times or until the callback_fn returns 1. The callback_fn can only return 0 or 1, and this is enforced by the verifier. The callback_fn index is zero-indexed. A few things to please note: ~ The "u64 flags" parameter is currently unused but is included in case a future use case for it arises. ~ In the kernel-side implementation of bpf_loop (kernel/bpf/bpf_iter.c), bpf_callback_t is used as the callback function cast. ~ A program can have nested bpf_loop calls but the program must still adhere to the verifier constraint of its stack depth (the stack depth cannot exceed MAX_BPF_STACK)) ~ Recursive callback_fns do not pass the verifier, due to the call stack for these being too deep. ~ The next patch will include the tests and benchmark Signed-off-by: Joanne Koong <joannekoong@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Acked-by: Andrii Nakryiko <andrii@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20211130030622.4131246-2-joannekoong@fb.com |
