Subject: [PATCH bpf-next] libbpf: deprecate bpf_object__unload() API
Date: Wed,  8 Sep 2021 23:35:44 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210908153544.749101-1-hengqi.chen@gmail.com> (raw)

BPF objects are not re-loadable after unload. User are expected to use
bpf_object__close() to unload and free up resources in one operation.
No need to expose bpf_object__unload() as a public API, deprecate it.[0]
Remove bpf_object__unload() inside bpf_object__load_xattr(), it is the
caller's responsibility to free up resources, otherwise, the following
code path will cause double-free problem when loading failed:

    bpf_prog_load
        bpf_prog_load_xattr
            bpf_object__load
                bpf_object__load_xattr

Replace bpf_object__unload() inside bpf_object__close() with the necessary
cleanup operations to avoid compilation error.

  [0] Closes: https://github.com/libbpf/libbpf/issues/290
