From: Alban Crequy <alban@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 8694d8c1f82cccec9380e0d3720b84eee315dfb7 ] "bpftool map create" has an infinite loop on "while (argc)". The error case is missing. Symptoms: when forgetting to type the keyword 'type' in front of 'hash': $ sudo bpftool map create /sys/fs/bpf/dir/foobar hash key 8 value 8 entries 128 (infinite loop, taking all the CPU) ^C After the patch: $ sudo bpftool map create /sys/fs/bpf/dir/foobar hash key 8 value 8 entries 128 Error: unknown arg hash Fixes: 0b592b5a01be ("tools: bpftool: add map create command") Signed-off-by: Alban Crequy <alban@xxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Quentin Monnet <quentin.monnet@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: Song Liu <songliubraving@xxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Jakub Kicinski <jakub.kicinski@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@xxxxxxxxxx> --- tools/bpf/bpftool/map.c | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) diff --git a/tools/bpf/bpftool/map.c b/tools/bpf/bpftool/map.c index 1ef1ee2280a28..227766d9f43b1 100644 --- a/tools/bpf/bpftool/map.c +++ b/tools/bpf/bpftool/map.c @@ -1111,6 +1111,9 @@ static int do_create(int argc, char **argv) return -1; } NEXT_ARG(); + } else { + p_err("unknown arg %s", *argv); + return -1; } } -- 2.20.1
