====================
In the original sockmap implementation we got away with using an
array similar to devmap. However, unlike devmap where an ifindex
has a nice 1:1 function into the map we have found some use cases
with sockets that need to be referenced using longer keys.
This series adds support for a sockhash map reusing as much of
the sockmap code as possible. I made the decision to add sockhash
specific helpers vs trying to generalize the existing helpers
because (a) they have sockmap in the name and (b) the keys are
different types. I prefer to be explicit here rather than play
type games or do something else tricky.
To test this we duplicate all the sockmap testing except swap out
the sockmap with a sockhash.
v2: fix file stats and add v2 tag
v3: move tool updates into test patch, move bpftool updates into
its own patch, and fixup the test patch stats to catch the
renamed file and provide only diffs ± on that.
v4: Add documentation to UAPI bpf.h
v5: Add documentation to tools UAPI bpf.h
v6: 'git add' test_sockhash_kern.c which was previously missing
but was not causing issues because of typo in test script,
noticed by Daniel. After this the git format-patch -M option
no longer tracks the rename of the test_sockmap_kern files for
some reason. I guess the diff has exceeded some threshold.

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.
