Toke Høiland-Jørgensen says: ==================== This series fixes a few bugs in libbpf that I discovered while playing around with the new auto-pinning code, and writing the first utility in xdp-tools[0]: - If object loading fails, libbpf does not clean up the pinnings created by the auto-pinning mechanism. - EPERM is not propagated to the caller on program load - Netlink functions write error messages directly to stderr In addition, libbpf currently only has a somewhat limited getter function for XDP link info, which makes it impossible to discover whether an attached program is in SKB mode or not. So the last patch in the series adds a new getter for XDP link info which returns all the information returned via netlink (and which can be extended later). Finally, add a getter for BPF program size, which can be used by the caller to estimate the amount of locked memory needed to load a program. A selftest is added for the pinning change, while the other features were tested in the xdp-filter tool from the xdp-tools repo. The 'new-libbpf-features' branch contains the commits that make use of the new XDP getter and the corrected EPERM error code. [0] https://github.com/xdp-project/xdp-tools Changelog: v4: - Don't do any size checks on struct xdp_info, just copy (and/or zero) whatever size the caller supplied. v3: - Pass through all kernel error codes on program load (instead of just EPERM). - No new bpf_object__unload() variant, just do the loop at the caller - Don't reject struct xdp_info sizes that are bigger than what we expect. - Add a comment noting that bpf_program__size() returns the size in bytes v2: - Keep function names in libbpf.map sorted properly ==================== Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> |

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.
