mainlining shenanigans
043c5bb3c4
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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
