[PATCH 5.8 179/633] libbpf: Fix unintentional success return code in bpf_object__load

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Alex Gartrell <alexgartrell@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit ef05afa66c59c2031a3798916ef3ff3778232129 ]

There are code paths where EINVAL is returned directly without setting
errno. In that case, errno could be 0, which would mask the
failure. For example, if a careless programmer set log_level to 10000
out of laziness, they would have to spend a long time trying to figure
out why.

Fixes: 4f33ddb4e3e2 ("libbpf: Propagate EPERM to caller on program load")
