hi,
I have failing test_offload.py with following output:

  # ./test_offload.py
  ...
  Test bpftool bound info reporting (own ns)...
  FAIL: 3 BPF maps loaded, expected 2
    File "/root/bpf-next/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/./test_offload.py", line 1177, in <module>
      check_dev_info(False, "")
    File "/root/bpf-next/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/./test_offload.py", line 645, in check_dev_info
      maps = bpftool_map_list(expected=2, ns=ns)
    File "/root/bpf-next/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/./test_offload.py", line 190, in bpftool_map_list
      fail(True, "%d BPF maps loaded, expected %d" %
    File "/root/bpf-next/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/./test_offload.py", line 86, in fail
      tb = "".join(traceback.extract_stack().format())

it fails to detect maps from bpftool's feature detection,
that did not make it yet through deferred removal

with the fix below I have this subtest passed, but it fails
further on:

  # ./test_offload.py

    File "/root/bpf-next/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/./test_offload.py", line 169, in bpftool
      return tool("bpftool", args, {"json":"-p"}, JSON=JSON, ns=ns,

      ret, stdout = cmd(ns + name + " " + params + args,

      return cmd_result(proc, include_stderr=include_stderr, fail=fail)
    File "/root/bpf-next/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/./test_offload.py", line 131, in cmd_result
      raise Exception("Command failed: %s\n%s" % (proc.args, stderr))
  Exception: Command failed: bpftool -p map dump id 4325

the test seems to expect maps having BTF loaded, which for some reason
did not happen, so the test fails with bpftool pretty dump fail

the test loads the object with 'ip link ...', which I never touched,
so I wanted ask first before I dive in, perhaps I miss some setup

thoughts? ;-)

It looks like the test_offload.py has been using 'bpftool -p' since its
inception (in commit: 417ec26477a5 ("selftests/bpf: add offload test
based on netdevsim") introduced in December 2017), so this sounds like a
regression in bpftool?
