Subject[PATCH bpf-next 0/2] fix setting return values for htab batch ops and docs
Date
This is a small follow up to the conversation with Hou in the following
thread:

https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20230705160139.19967-1-aspsk@isovalent.com/T/#u

Namely, the conversation was about that comments in <linux/bpf.h>
describing the return values from the batch operations are not 100%
obvious. I tried to make comments more clear. While doing this I also
found that this is better to patch how __htab_map_lookup_and_delete_batch
sets return values: the output parameter count could be set to non-zero in
case of error, which may confuse some userspace apps (as errno && non-zero
counter is considered a partially successful operation for batch ops).
