Most of the maps do not use max_entries during verification time. Thus, those map_meta_equal() do not need to enforce max_entries when it is inserted as an inner map during runtime. The max_entries check is removed from the default implementation bpf_map_meta_equal(). The prog_array_map and xsk_map are exception. Its map_gen_lookup uses max_entries to generate inline lookup code. Thus, they will implement its own map_meta_equal() to enforce max_entries. Since there are only two cases now, the max_entries check is not refactored and stays in its own .c file.

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.
