Hello,

I have been trying to test a sample AF_XDP program, but I have been
experiencing some issues.
After building the sample code
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/tree/master/samples/bpf,
when running the xdpsock binary, I get the errors
"libbpf: failed to create map (name: 'xsks_map'): Invalid argument"
"libbpf: failed to load object './xdpsock_kern.o"

I tried to figure out the cause of the error but all I know is that it
occurs at line 910 with the function
call "bpf_prog_load_xattr(&prog_load_attr, &obj, &prog_fd)".

Please I would like to inquire what could be a possible for this error.

which kernel version are you running?

My kernel version is 4.18.0-rc8+. I cloned it from
https://github.com/torvalds/linux before building a running.

My commit head(git show-ref --head) is at
1236568ee3cbb0d3ac62d0074a29b97ecf34cbbc HEAD

I also applied the patch https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/949884/
(samples: bpf: convert xdpsock_user.c to libbpf ), as the error was
initially in the form show below:
  "failed to create a map: 22 Invalid argument"
  "ERROR: load_bpf_file"

Thanks
