Mauricio Vasquez says: ==================== In some applications this is needed have a pool of free elements, for example the list of free L4 ports in a SNAT. None of the current maps allow to do it as it is not possible to get any element without having they key it is associated to, even if it were possible, the lack of locking mecanishms in eBPF would do it almost impossible to be implemented without data races. This patchset implements two new kind of eBPF maps: queue and stack. Those maps provide to eBPF programs the peek, push and pop operations, and for userspace applications a new bpf_map_lookup_and_delete_elem() is added.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
