[PATCH bpf-next 2/2] libbpf: reject static maps

From: Andrii Nakryiko <andrii@kernel.org>
Date: 2021-05-13 23:05:05
Also in: bpf
Subsystem: bpf [general] (safe dynamic programs and tools), bpf [library] (libbpf), the rest · Maintainers: Alexei Starovoitov, Daniel Borkmann, Andrii Nakryiko, Eduard Zingerman, Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi, Linus Torvalds

Static maps never really worked with libbpf, because all such maps were always
silently resolved to the very first map. Detect static maps (both legacy and
BTF-defined) and report user-friendly error.

Tested locally by switching few maps (legacy and BTF-defined) in selftests to
static ones and verifying that now libbpf rejects them loudly.
