Subject: [RFC PATCH bpf-next v2 5/6] libbpf: Add common attr support for map_create
Date: Fri, 12 Sep 2025 00:33:27 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250911163328.93490-6-leon.hwang@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250911163328.93490-1-leon.hwang@linux.dev>
With the previous patch adding common attribute support for
BPF_MAP_CREATE, it is now possible to retrieve detailed error messages
when map creation fails by using the 'log_buf' field from the common
attributes.
This patch extends 'bpf_map_create_opts' with two new fields, 'log_buf'
and 'log_size', allowing users to capture and inspect these log messages.
