From: Rong Tao <rongtao@xxxxxxxx> since commit 450b167fb9be("libbpf: clean up SEC() handling"), sec_def_matches() does not recognize "socket/xxx" as "socket", therefore, the BPF program type is not recognized, set "socket/xxx" to SOCKET_FILTER solves this error. $ cd samples/bpf $ sudo ./sockex3 libbpf: prog 'bpf_func_PARSE_IP': missing BPF prog type, check ELF section name 'socket/3' libbpf: prog 'bpf_func_PARSE_IP': failed to load: -22 libbpf: failed to load object './sockex3_kern.o' ERROR: loading BPF object file failed Signed-off-by: Rong Tao <rongtao@xxxxxxxx> --- samples/bpf/sockex3_user.c | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) diff --git a/samples/bpf/sockex3_user.c b/samples/bpf/sockex3_user.c index cd6fa79df900..dc79c17ad195 100644 --- a/samples/bpf/sockex3_user.c +++ b/samples/bpf/sockex3_user.c @@ -39,6 +39,9 @@ int main(int argc, char **argv) return 0; } + bpf_object__for_each_program(prog, obj) + bpf_program__set_type(prog, BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCKET_FILTER); + /* load BPF program */ if (bpf_object__load(obj)) { fprintf(stderr, "ERROR: loading BPF object file failed\n"); -- 2.31.1
