We have a bpf manager on our production environment to maintain the
bpf programs, some of which need to be pinned in bpffs, for example
tracing bpf programs, perf_event programs and other bpf hooks added by
ourselves for performance tuning. These bpf programs don't need a
user agent, while they really work like a kernel module, that is why
we pin them. For these kinds of bpf programs, the bpf manager can help
to simplify the development and deployment. Take the improvement on
development for example, the user doesn't need to write userspace
code while he focuses on the kernel side only, and then bpf manager
will do all the other things. Below is a simple example,
Step1, gen the skeleton for the user provided bpf object file,
$ bpftool gen skeleton test.bpf.o > simple.skel.h
Step2, Compile the bpf object file into a runnable binary
#include "simple.skel.h"
#define SIMPLE_BPF_PIN(name, path) \
({ \
struct name##_bpf *obj; \
int err = 0; \
\
obj = name##_bpf__open(); \
if (!obj) { \
err = -errno; \
goto cleanup; \
} \
\
err = name##_bpf__load(obj); \
if (err) \
goto cleanup; \
\
err = name##_bpf__attach(obj); \
if (err) \
goto cleanup; \
\
err = name##_bpf__pin_prog(obj, path); \
if (err) \
goto cleanup; \
\
goto end; \
\
cleanup: \
name##_bpf__destroy(obj); \
end: \
err; \
})
SIMPLE_BPF_PIN(test, "/sys/fs/bpf");
As the userspace code of FD-based bpf objects are all
the same, so we can abstract them as above. The pathset means to add
the non-exist "name##_bpf__pin_prog(obj, path)" for it.

Ah, it should be bpf_object__pin_skeleton_link().
I'm not sure if it can be extended to work for a non-auto-detachable
bpf program, but I know it is hard for pinning tc-bpf programs, which
is also running on our production environment, in this way.

Thanks, I will change it.
