Subject: [PATCH bpf] libbpf: restore errno return for functions that were already returning it
Date: Tue, 6 Jul 2021 14:23:55 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210706122355.236082-1-toke@redhat.com> (raw)
The update to streamline libbpf error reporting intended to change all
functions to return the errno as a negative return value if
LIBBPF_STRICT_DIRECT_ERRS is set. However, if the flag is *not* set, the
return value changes for the two functions that were already returning a
negative errno unconditionally: bpf_link__unpin() and perf_buffer__poll().
This is a user-visible API change that breaks applications; so let's revert
these two functions back to unconditionally returning a negative errno
value.
Fixes: e9fc3ce99b34 ("libbpf: Streamline error reporting for high-level APIs")
