This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled libbpf: Apply map_set_def_max_entries() for inner_maps on creation to the 6.7-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: libbpf-apply-map_set_def_max_entries-for-inner_maps-.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.7 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit df42e843213a8356cb5e96d77a7c13f563db2fe7 Author: Andrey Grafin <conquistador@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Jan 17 16:06:18 2024 +0300 libbpf: Apply map_set_def_max_entries() for inner_maps on creation [ Upstream commit f04deb90e516e8e48bf8693397529bc942a9e80b ] This patch allows to auto create BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY_OF_MAPS and BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH_OF_MAPS with values of BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY by bpf_object__load(). Previous behaviour created a zero filled btf_map_def for inner maps and tried to use it for a map creation but the linux kernel forbids to create a BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY map with max_entries=0.
