Subject: [RESEND PATCH bpf-next v4 8/9] libbpf: Add common attr support for map_create
Date: Wed, 7 Jan 2026 01:20:17 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260106172018.57757-9-leon.hwang@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260106172018.57757-1-leon.hwang@linux.dev>
With the previous commit 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.
Introduce a new struct bpf_syscall_common_attr_opts, which wraps these
new fields, 'log_buf', 'log_size', 'log_level', and 'log_true_size'.
Extend 'bpf_map_create_opts' with a new field, 'cattr_opts', allowing
users to capture and inspect those log messages.
