htab can't use generic batch support due some problematic behaviours inherent to the data structre, i.e. while iterating the bpf map a concurrent program might delete the next entry that batch was about to use, in that case there's no easy solution to retrieve the next entry, the issue has been discussed multiple times (see [1] and [2]). The only way hmap can be traversed without the problem previously exposed is by making sure that the map is traversing entire buckets. This commit implements those strict requirements for hmap, the implementation follows the same interaction that generic support with some exceptions: - If keys/values buffer are not big enough to traverse a bucket, ENOSPC will be returned. - out_batch contains the value of the next bucket in the iteration, not the next key, but this is transparent for the user since the user should never use out_batch for other than bpf batch syscalls. This commits implements BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_BATCH and adds support for new command BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_AND_DELETE_BATCH. Note that for update/delete batch ops it is possible to use the generic implementations.

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.
