====================
This series adds support to libbpf for reading 'pinning' settings from BTF-based
map definitions. It introduces a new open option which can set the pinning path;
if no path is set, /sys/fs/bpf is used as the default. Callers can customise the
pinning between open and load by setting the pin path per map, and still get the
automatic reuse feature.
The semantics of the pinning is similar to the iproute2 "PIN_GLOBAL" setting,
and the eventual goal is to move the iproute2 implementation to be based on
libbpf and the functions introduced in this series.
Changelog:
v6:
- Fix leak of struct bpf_object in selftest
- Make struct bpf_map arg const in bpf_map__is_pinned() and bpf_map__get_pin_path()
v5:
- Don't pin maps with pinning set, but with a value of LIBBPF_PIN_NONE
- Add a few more selftests:
- Should not pin map with pinning set, but value LIBBPF_PIN_NONE
- Should fail to load a map with an invalid pinning value
- Should fail to re-use maps with parameter mismatch
- Alphabetise libbpf.map
- Whitespace and typo fixes
v4:
- Don't check key_type_id and value_type_id when checking for map reuse
compatibility.
- Move building of map->pin_path into init_user_btf_map()
- Get rid of 'pinning' attribute in struct bpf_map
- Make sure we also create parent directory on auto-pin (new patch 3).
- Abort the selftest on error instead of attempting to continue.
- Support unpinning all pinned maps with bpf_object__unpin_maps(obj, NULL)
- Support pinning at map->pin_path with bpf_object__pin_maps(obj, NULL)
- Make re-pinning a map at the same path a noop
- Rename the open option to pin_root_path
- Add a bunch more self-tests for pin_maps(NULL) and unpin_maps(NULL)
- Fix a couple of smaller nits
v3:
- Drop bpf_object__pin_maps_opts() and just use an open option to customise
the pin path; also don't touch bpf_object__{un,}pin_maps()
- Integrate pinning and reuse into bpf_object__create_maps() instead of having
multiple loops though the map structure
- Make errors in map reuse and pinning fatal to the load procedure
- Add selftest to exercise pinning feature
- Rebase series to latest bpf-next
v2:
- Drop patch that adds mounting of bpffs
- Only support a single value of the pinning attribute
- Add patch to fixup error handling in reuse_fd()
- Implement the full automatic pinning and map reuse logic on load

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
