Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v2 1/2] libbpf: Fix struct and union zero detection in BTF dumper
Date: Thu, 01 Oct 2026 00:42:58 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261001-libbpf-btf-enodata-fix-v2-1-89f6e8a0240e@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261001-libbpf-btf-enodata-fix-v2-0-89f6e8a0240e@gmail.com>

btf_dump_type_data_check_zero() uses -ENODATA to indicate that a value
is zero. The array path handles this sentinel correctly, but the struct
and union path compares the return value against positive ENODATA.

As a result, the member loop returns after examining its first member.
A nested struct or union whose first member is zero can therefore be
treated as entirely zero even when a later member is non-zero.

Compare against -ENODATA so zero members are skipped while looking for
a non-zero member.
