Subject: [RESEND PATCH bpf-next v4 7/9] bpf: Add common attr support for map_create
Date: Wed, 7 Jan 2026 01:20:16 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260106172018.57757-8-leon.hwang@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260106172018.57757-1-leon.hwang@linux.dev>
Currently, many 'BPF_MAP_CREATE' failures return '-EINVAL' without
providing any explanation to user space.
With the extended BPF syscall support, detailed error messages can now be
reported. This allows users to understand the specific reason for a
failed map creation, rather than just receiving a generic '-EINVAL'.
