From: Rong Tao <rongtao@xxxxxxxx> The size of struct bpf_map::name is BPF_OBJ_NAME_LEN (16). bpf(2) { map_create() { bpf_obj_name_cpy(map->name, attr->map_name, sizeof(attr->map_name)); } } When specifying a map name using bpftool map create name, no error is reported if the name length is greater than 15. $ sudo bpftool map create /sys/fs/bpf/12345678901234567890 \ type array key 4 value 4 entries 5 name 12345678901234567890 Users will think that 12345678901234567890 is legal, but this name cannot be used to index a map. $ sudo bpftool map show name 12345678901234567890 Error: can't parse name $ sudo bpftool map show ... 1249: array name 123456789012345 flags 0x0 key 4B value 4B max_entries 5 memlock 304B $ sudo bpftool map show name 123456789012345 1249: array name 123456789012345 flags 0x0 key 4B value 4B max_entries 5 memlock 304B The map name provided in the command line is truncated, but no error is reported. This submission checks the length of the map name.
