From 6018e1f407cccf39b804d1f75ad4de7be4e6cc45 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrii Nakryiko Date: Wed, 8 Mar 2023 10:41:17 -0800 Subject: bpf: implement numbers iterator Implement the first open-coded iterator type over a range of integers. It's public API consists of: - bpf_iter_num_new() constructor, which accepts [start, end) range (that is, start is inclusive, end is exclusive). - bpf_iter_num_next() which will keep returning read-only pointer to int until the range is exhausted, at which point NULL will be returned. If bpf_iter_num_next() is kept calling after this, NULL will be persistently returned. - bpf_iter_num_destroy() destructor, which needs to be called at some point to clean up iterator state. BPF verifier enforces that iterator destructor is called at some point before BPF program exits. Note that `start = end = X` is a valid combination to setup an empty iterator. bpf_iter_num_new() will return 0 (success) for any such combination. If bpf_iter_num_new() detects invalid combination of input arguments, it returns error, resets iterator state to, effectively, empty iterator, so any subsequent call to bpf_iter_num_next() will keep returning NULL. BPF verifier has no knowledge that returned integers are in the [start, end) value range, as both `start` and `end` are not statically known and enforced: they are runtime values. While the implementation is pretty trivial, some care needs to be taken to avoid overflows and underflows. Subsequent selftests will validate correctness of [start, end) semantics, especially around extremes (INT_MIN and INT_MAX). Similarly to bpf_loop(), we enforce that no more than BPF_MAX_LOOPS can be specified. bpf_iter_num_{new,next,destroy}() is a logical evolution from bounded BPF loops and bpf_loop() helper and is the basis for implementing ergonomic BPF loops with no statically known or verified bounds. Subsequent patches implement bpf_for() macro, demonstrating how this can be wrapped into something that works and feels like a normal for() loop in C language.
