Song, I think it is something to do with the namespace, when I run the same code on the host os (not in a network namespace) it works fine and creates the map and writes to it. The error coming back from bpf_pin_obj is errno: No such file or directory I can see /sys/fs/bpf in the namespace after I do. $ mount --make-shared /sys/fs/bpf but just cannot access it. Thanks for the help Regards John On Tue, Sep 15, 2020 at 10:12 PM Y Song <ys114321@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > On Tue, Sep 15, 2020 at 11:46 AM John McDowall > <jmcdowall@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > > Hi everyone, > > > > This may be a dumb question, I have set up a simple test environment > > with multiple network namespaces running on a ubuntu 20.04 vagrant > > box, with the latest github libbpf. > > > > I want to use a pinned map, I can make /sys/fs/bpf shared by: > > > > $ mount mount --make-shared /sys/fs/bpf > > $ mount --bind /sys/fs/bpf /sys/fs/bpf > > Similar commands `mount --bind /sys/fs/bpf /sys/fs/bpf1` in the same namespace > works fine. > > Maybe there are restrictions related to namespace?
