Refactor the functionality in bpf_sk_storage.c so that concept of storage linked to kernel objects can be extended to other objects like inode, task_struct etc. Each new local storage will still be a separate map and provide its own set of helpers. This allows for future object specific extensions and still share a lot of the underlying implementation. This includes the changes suggested by Martin in: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20200725013047.4006241-1-kafai@fb.com/ adding new map operations to support bpf_local_storage maps: * storages for different kernel objects to optionally have different memory charging strategy (map_local_storage_charge, map_local_storage_uncharge) * Functionality to extract the storage pointer from a pointer to the owning object (map_owner_storage_ptr) Co-developed-by: Martin KaFai Lau <kafai@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Martin KaFai Lau <kafai@fb.com> Signed-off-by: KP Singh <kpsingh@google.com> Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20200825182919.1118197-4-kpsingh@chromium.org
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
