BPF maps
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
BPF 'maps' provide generic storage of different types for sharing data between
|
|
kernel and user space. There are several storage types available, including
|
|
hash, array, bloom filter and radix-tree. Several of the map types exist to
|
|
support specific BPF helpers that perform actions based on the map contents. The
|
|
maps are accessed from BPF programs via BPF helpers which are documented in the
|
|
`man-pages`_ for `bpf-helpers(7)`_.
|
|
|
|
BPF maps are accessed from user space via the ``bpf`` syscall, which provides
|
|
commands to create maps, lookup elements, update elements and delete
|
|
elements. More details of the BPF syscall are available in
|
|
:doc:`/userspace-api/ebpf/syscall` and in the `man-pages`_ for `bpf(2)`_.

Map Types
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
.. toctree::
|
|
:maxdepth: 1
|
|
:glob:
|
|
|
|
map_*
|
|
|
|
Usage Notes
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
.. c:function::
|
|
int bpf(int command, union bpf_attr *attr, u32 size)
|
|
|
|
Use the ``bpf()`` system call to perform the operation specified by
|
|
``command``. The operation takes parameters provided in ``attr``. The ``size``
|
|
argument is the size of the ``union bpf_attr`` in ``attr``.
|
|
|
|
**BPF_MAP_CREATE**
|
|
|
|
Create a map with the desired type and attributes in ``attr``:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: c
|
|
|
|
int fd;
|
|
union bpf_attr attr = {
|
|
.map_type = BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY; /* mandatory */
|
|
.key_size = sizeof(__u32); /* mandatory */
|
|
.value_size = sizeof(__u32); /* mandatory */
|
|
.max_entries = 256; /* mandatory */
|
|
.map_flags = BPF_F_MMAPABLE;
|
|
.map_name = "example_array";
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
fd = bpf(BPF_MAP_CREATE, &attr, sizeof(attr));
|
|
|
|
Returns a process-local file descriptor on success, or negative error in case of
|
|
failure. The map can be deleted by calling ``close(fd)``. Maps held by open
|
|
file descriptors will be deleted automatically when a process exits.
|
|
|
|
.. note:: Valid characters for ``map_name`` are ``A-Z``, ``a-z``, ``0-9``,
|
|
``'_'`` and ``'.'``.
|
|
|
|
**BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_ELEM**
|
|
|
|
Lookup key in a given map using ``attr->map_fd``, ``attr->key``,
|
|
``attr->value``. Returns zero and stores found elem into ``attr->value`` on
|
|
success, or negative error on failure.
|
|
|
|
**BPF_MAP_UPDATE_ELEM**
|
|
|
|
Create or update key/value pair in a given map using ``attr->map_fd``, ``attr->key``,
|
|
``attr->value``. Returns zero on success or negative error on failure.
|
|
|
|
**BPF_MAP_DELETE_ELEM**
|
|
|
|
Find and delete element by key in a given map using ``attr->map_fd``,
|
|
``attr->key``. Returns zero on success or negative error on failure.
