From: Yonghong Song <yhs@xxxxxx> [ Upstream commit ac4e0e055fee5751c78bba1fc9ce508a6874d916 ] For a host which has a lower rlimit for max locked memory (e.g., 64KB), the following error occurs in one of our production systems: # /usr/sbin/bpftool prog load /paragon/pods/52877437/home/mark.o \ /sys/fs/bpf/paragon_mark_21 type cgroup/skb \ map idx 0 pinned /sys/fs/bpf/paragon_map_21 libbpf: Error in bpf_object__probe_name():Operation not permitted(1). Couldn't load basic 'r0 = 0' BPF program. Error: failed to open object file The reason is due to low locked memory during bpf_object__probe_name() which probes whether program name is supported in kernel or not during __bpf_object__open_xattr(). bpftool program load already tries to relax mlock rlimit before bpf_object__load(). Let us move set_max_rlimit() before __bpf_object__open_xattr(), which fixed the issue here.
