libbpf: Honor autocreate flag for struct_ops maps
Skip load steps for struct_ops maps not marked for automatic creation. This should allow to load bpf object in situations like below: SEC("struct_ops/foo") int BPF_PROG(foo) { ... } SEC("struct_ops/bar") int BPF_PROG(bar) { ... } struct test_ops___v1 { int (*foo)(void); }; struct test_ops___v2 { int (*foo)(void); int (*does_not_exist)(void); }; SEC(".struct_ops.link") struct test_ops___v1 map_for_old = { .test_1 = (void *)foo }; SEC(".struct_ops.link") struct test_ops___v2 map_for_new = { .test_1 = (void *)foo, .does_not_exist = (void *)bar }; Suppose program is loaded on old kernel that does not have definition for 'does_not_exist' struct_ops member. After this commit it would be possible to load such object file after the following tweaks: bpf_program__set_autoload(skel->progs.bar, false); bpf_map__set_autocreate(skel->maps.map_for_new, false); Signed-off-by: Eduard Zingerman <eddyz87@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrii Nakryiko <andrii@kernel.org> Acked-by: David Vernet <void@manifault.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20240306104529.6453-4-eddyz87@gmail.com
