[PATCHv13,bpf-next,2/6] bpf: add a new bpf argument type ARG_CONST_MAP_PTR_OR_NULL

Commit Message

Hangbin Liu Dec. 21, 2020, 12:35 p.m. UTC

Add a new bpf argument type ARG_CONST_MAP_PTR_OR_NULL which could be
used when we want to allow NULL pointer for map parameter. The bpf helper
need to take care and check if the map is NULL when use this type.

v11-v12: rebase the patch to latest bpf-next
v10: remove useless CONST_PTR_TO_MAP_OR_NULL and Copy-paste comment.
v9: merge the patch from [1] in to this series.
v1-v8: no this patch
