Subject: [PATCH v5 bpf-next 3/5] bpf: Introduce path iterator
Date: Mon, 16 Jun 2025 23:11:14 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250617061116.3681325-4-song@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250617061116.3681325-1-song@kernel.org>
Introduce a path iterator, which walks a struct path toward the root.
This path iterator is based on path_walk_parent. A fixed zero'ed root
is passed to path_walk_parent(). Therefore, unless the user terminates
it earlier, the iterator will terminate at the real root.
