Subject[PATCH net-next 4/7] bpf: fix BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_ELEM command return code
Date
fix errno of BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_ELEM command as bpf manpage
described it in commit b4fc1a460f30("Merge branch 'bpf-next'"):
-----
BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_ELEM
int bpf_lookup_elem(int fd, void *key, void *value)
{
union bpf_attr attr = {
.map_fd = fd,
.key = ptr_to_u64(key),
.value = ptr_to_u64(value),
};

return bpf(BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_ELEM, &attr, sizeof(attr));
}
bpf() syscall looks up an element with given key in a map fd.
If element is found it returns zero and stores element's value
into value. If element is not found it returns -1 and sets
errno to ENOENT.

and further down in manpage:

ENOENT For BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_ELEM or BPF_MAP_DELETE_ELEM, indicates that
element with given key was not found.
-----

In general all BPF commands return ENOENT when map element is not found
(including BPF_MAP_GET_NEXT_KEY and BPF_MAP_UPDATE_ELEM with
flags == BPF_MAP_UPDATE_ONLY)

Subsequent patch adds a testsuite to check return values for all of
these combinations.

I don't think this patch is needed for 'net', since 'net' has syscall shell
only. Actual map types and their implementations are being introduced by
this set of patches.
