https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/atom?h=master2024-07-29T22:05:04Zselftests/bpf: Add a test for mmap-able map in map2024-07-29T22:05:04ZSong Liu2024-07-23T05:14:55Zurn:sha1:c7db4873fbd63918c124a5d67182492c78ba705b
Regular BPF hash map is not mmap-able from user space. However, map-in-map
with outer map of type BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH_OF_MAPS and mmap-able array as
inner map can perform similar operations as a mmap-able hash map. This
can be used by applications that benefit from fast accesses to some local
data.
Add a selftest to show this use case.
