Jakub Kicinski says: ==================== This series starts with two minor clean ups to test_offload.py selftest script. The next 11 patches extend the abilities of bpftool prog load beyond the simple cgroup use cases. Three new parameters are added: - type - allows specifying program type, independent of how code sections are named; - map - allows reusing existing maps, instead of creating a new map on every program load; - dev - offload/binding to a device. A number of changes to libbpf is required to accomplish the task. The section - program type logic mapping is exposed. We should probably aim to use the libbpf program section naming everywhere. For reuse of maps we need to allow users to set FD for bpf map object in libbpf. Examples Load program my_xdp.o and pin it as /sys/fs/bpf/my_xdp, for xdp program type: $ bpftool prog load my_xdp.o /sys/fs/bpf/my_xdp \ type xdp As above but for offload: $ bpftool prog load my_xdp.o /sys/fs/bpf/my_xdp \ type xdp \ dev netdevsim0 Load program my_maps.o, but for the first map reuse map id 17, and for the map called "other_map" reuse pinned map /sys/fs/bpf/map0: $ bpftool prog load my_maps.o /sys/fs/bpf/prog \ map idx 0 id 17 \ map name other_map pinned /sys/fs/bpf/map0 v3: - fix return codes in patch 5; - rename libbpf_prog_type_by_string() -> libbpf_prog_type_by_name(); - fold file path into xattr in patch 8; - add patch 10; - use dup3() in patch 12; - depend on fd value in patch 12; - close old fd in patch 12. v2: - add compat for reallocarray(). ==================== Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net>
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.
