Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v2 1/2] bpf: cpumap: propagate underlying error in cpu_map_update_elem()
Date: Mon, 8 Dec 2025 22:14:31 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251208131449.73036-2-enjuk@amazon.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251208131449.73036-1-enjuk@amazon.com>
After commit 9216477449f3 ("bpf: cpumap: Add the possibility to attach
an eBPF program to cpumap"), __cpu_map_entry_alloc() may fail with
errors other than -ENOMEM, such as -EBADF or -EINVAL.
However, __cpu_map_entry_alloc() returns NULL on all failures, and
cpu_map_update_elem() unconditionally converts this NULL into -ENOMEM.
As a result, user space always receives -ENOMEM regardless of the actual
underlying error.
Examples of unexpected behavior:
- Nonexistent fd : -ENOMEM (should be -EBADF)
- Non-BPF fd : -ENOMEM (should be -EINVAL)
- Bad attach type : -ENOMEM (should be -EINVAL)
Change __cpu_map_entry_alloc() to return ERR_PTR(err) instead of NULL
and have cpu_map_update_elem() propagate this error.
