Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v4 0/2] bpftool: Support symbolic map creation flags
Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2026 10:50:42 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260911025044.190540-1-diannaaav@gmail.com> (raw)
Add comma-separated BPF_F_* names to map create flags while retaining
base-0 numeric input, with matching documentation, completion and tests.
Changes in v4:
- Add FLAGS to the map-create synopsis in the manual.
- Rebase onto current bpf-next and shorten the commit descriptions.
- Use Assisted-by: LLM.
The v3 parser, shared feature-list table and completion behavior are
unchanged. Earlier requested functional changes were included in v2/v3.
v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/178874713816.1519295.5079603775338308680.flags-v3-0@tychen.cc
Request: https://github.com/libbpf/bpftool/issues/57
The previous version's CI PR expired after repeated "Patch is empty"
reports. The revised series applies cleanly to the current tree and is
sent as a new thread using git format-patch and git send-email.
Validation:
- Built bpftool and its manual pages, and built the focused selftest
runner with LLVM 20.
- All 29 bpftool_map_flags subtests passed with no skips or failures
in an x86-64 KVM guest running Linux 7.3.0-rc2 from current bpf/master.
- The four bpftool series were tested together: all 69 subtests passed.
The cpumask suite (36 subtests) and test_maps also passed with no skips.
- Bash syntax and the existing bpftool synchronization checks passed.
This was a focused run; unrelated selftests requiring unavailable kernel
features were excluded from the build with PERMISSIVE=1.
