Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v11 0/3] bpftool: Add recursive map dumping
Date: Thu,  5 Nov 2026 03:54:36 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1793818386.git.hi@tychen.cc> (raw)

Dump each inner map in the entry that references it. Open it by ID, dump
it and close it immediately; a missing inner map is an error only in
that entry, and shared inner maps are printed in every referring entry.

Changes in v11:
- Drop the queue, deduplication and second pass, as Alexei suggested.
- Drop the ineffective map-info test. Keep the map-info clearing fix
  for bpftool running on kernels without the kernel-side fix.
- Rewrite the recursive tests and drop Quentin's Acked-by on the
  rewritten patch.

Tested in an x86-64 VM, including shared and missing inner maps, BTF,
multiple roots, and the combination with the batch series.

v10: https://lore.kernel.org/r/cover.1793732336.git.hi@tychen.cc
