[PATCH] tools: libbpf: Add bpf_object__open_buffer_xattr

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: KP Singh <kpsingh@xxxxxxxxxx>

Introduce struct bpf_object_open_buffer_attr and an API function,
bpf_object__open_xattr, as the existing API, bpf_object__open_buffer,
doesn't provide a way to specify neither the "needs_kver" nor
the "flags" parameter to the internal call to the
__bpf_object__open which makes it inconvenient for loading BPF
objects that do not require a kernel version from a buffer.

The flags attribute in the bpf_object_open_buffer_attr is set
to MAPS_RELAX_COMPAT when used in bpf_object__open_buffer to
maintain backward compatibility as this was added to load objects
with non-compat map definitions in:

commit c034a177d3c8 ("bpf: bpftool, add flag to allow non-compat map
		      definitions")

and bpf_object__open_buffer was called with this flag enabled (as a
boolean true value).

The existing "bpf_object__open_xattr" cannot be modified to
maintain API compatibility.
