Merge branch 'Add _opts variant for bpf_*_get_fd_by_id()'
Roberto Sassu says:
====================
From: Roberto Sassu <roberto.sassu@huawei.com>
Add the _opts variant for bpf_*_get_fd_by_id() functions, to be able to
pass to the kernel more options, when requesting a fd of an eBPF object.
Pass the options through a newly introduced structure,
bpf_get_fd_by_id_opts, which currently contains open_flags (the other two
members are for compatibility and for padding).
open_flags allows the caller to request specific permissions to access a
map (e.g. read-only). This is useful for example in the situation where a
map is write-protected.
Besides patches 2-6, which introduce the new variants and the data
structure, patch 1 fixes the LIBBPF_1.0.0 declaration in libbpf.map.
Changelog
v1:
- Don't CC stable kernel mailing list for patch 1 (suggested by Andrii)
- Rename bpf_get_fd_opts struct to bpf_get_fd_by_id_opts (suggested by
Andrii)
- Move declaration of _opts variants after non-opts variants (suggested by
Andrii)
- Correctly initialize bpf_map_info, fix style issues, use map from
skeleton, check valid fd in the test (suggested by Andrii)
- Rename libbpf_get_fd_opts test to libbpf_get_fd_by_id_opts
