From 043c5bb3c4f43670ab4fea0b847373ab42d25f3e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Martynas Pumputis Date: Mon, 26 Jul 2021 17:20:01 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] libbpf: Fix race when pinning maps in parallel When loading in parallel multiple programs which use the same to-be pinned map, it is possible that two instances of the loader will call bpf_object__create_maps() at the same time. If the map doesn't exist when both instances call bpf_object__reuse_map(), then one of the instances will fail with EEXIST when calling bpf_map__pin(). Fix the race by retrying reusing a map if bpf_map__pin() returns EEXIST. The fix is similar to the one in iproute2: e4c4685fd6e4 ("bpf: Fix race condition with map pinning"). Before retrying the pinning, we don't do any special cleaning of an internal map state. The closer code inspection revealed that it's not required: - bpf_object__create_map(): map->inner_map is destroyed after a successful call, map->fd is closed if pinning fails. - bpf_object__populate_internal_map(): created map elements is destroyed upon close(map->fd). - init_map_slots(): slots are freed after their initialization.
