Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v2] bpftool: Compute map size of light skeletons at runtime
Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2026 23:33:26 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260914153326.72498-1-leon.hwang@linux.dev> (raw)

bpftool rounds memory-mapped data map sizes to the host page size when
generating a light skeleton. The generated code therefore uses a 64K
mapping size when bpftool runs on a 64K-page host, even if the skeleton
runs on a 4K-page target. The target rejects the oversized map mmap(),
causing failure of loading the light skeleton.

When try to run 64K-page selftests on 4K-page VM, the error message does
not provide the reason about page size.

 test_atomics:PASS:atomics skeleton open 0 nsec
 test_atomics:FAIL:atomics skeleton load unexpected error: -12 (errno 22)
 #15      atomics:FAIL

Pass the original map value size and max entries to the generated code and
round mmap size to the runtime page size in the user-space light
skeleton helpers. This keeps generated light skeletons independent of the
build host page size.

Fixes: d510296d331a ("bpftool: Use syscall/loader program in "prog load" and "gen skeleton" command.")
Signed-off-by: Leon Hwang <leon.hwang@linux.dev>
---
v1 -> v2:
* Pass max entries alongside value size.
* Use the computed mmap size for mprotect() in userspace's
  skel_protect_map_data().
* Round up the mmap size to page size with keeping the original
  multiplying max_entries logic. (Andrii)
* v1: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20260911145914.23676-1-leon.hwang@linux.dev/
