Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 2/2] bpftool: fix spurious batch file read error
Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2026 09:52:16 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260810015216.2369940-3-chenyuan_fl@163.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260810015216.2369940-1-chenyuan_fl@163.com>

From: Yuan Chen <chenyuan@kylinos.cn>

do_batch() checks errno after the read loop to detect read failures,
but fgets() does not clear errno on success, so a stale errno left by
a previously executed command (e.g. map dump's EBADF from a double
close) makes bpftool report a batch file read failure and exit with an
error even though every command succeeded. Use ferror() instead, and
track the too-long-line case explicitly.

Fixes: 71bb428fe2c1 ("tools: bpf: add bpftool")
