Series in general looks good to me. Few minor comments, mainly in relation to the need for libbpf extensions. Would it not be a better interface to the user to instead choose the prog based on section name and then retrieve it via bpf_object__find_program_by_title() instead of prognum (which feels less user friendly) at least? > Signed-off-by: Maciej Fijalkowski <maciejromanfijalkowski@gmail.com> > Reviewed-by: Jakub Kicinski <jakub.kicinski@netronome.com> > --- > tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.c | 8 ++++++++ > tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.h | 3 +++ > tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.map | 1 + > 3 files changed, 12 insertions(+) > > diff --git a/tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.c b/tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.c > index dc838bea403f..21c84d0f6128 100644 > --- a/tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.c > +++ b/tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.c > @@ -935,6 +935,14 @@ static int bpf_object__elf_collect(struct bpf_object *obj, int flags) > return err; > } > > +int > +bpf_object__get_prog_fd_by_num(struct bpf_object *obj, int idx) > +{ > + if (idx >= 0 && idx < obj->nr_programs) > + return bpf_program__fd(&obj->programs[idx]); > + return -ENOENT; > +} > + > static struct bpf_program * > bpf_object__find_prog_by_idx(struct bpf_object *obj, int idx) > { > diff --git a/tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.h b/tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.h > index 7f10d36abdde..ca1b381cb3ad 100644 > --- a/tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.h > +++ b/tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.h > @@ -95,6 +95,9 @@ LIBBPF_API int bpf_object__btf_fd(const struct bpf_object *obj); > LIBBPF_API struct bpf_program * > bpf_object__find_program_by_title(struct bpf_object *obj, const char *title); > > +LIBBPF_API int > +bpf_object__get_prog_fd_by_num(struct bpf_object *obj, int idx); > + > LIBBPF_API struct bpf_object *bpf_object__next(struct bpf_object *prev); > #define bpf_object__for_each_safe(pos, tmp) \ > for ((pos) = bpf_object__next(NULL), \ > diff --git a/tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.map b/tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.map > index 7c59e4f64082..871d2fc07150 100644 > --- a/tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.map > +++ b/tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.map > @@ -127,4 +127,5 @@ LIBBPF_0.0.1 { > LIBBPF_0.0.2 { > global: > bpf_object__find_map_fd_by_name; > + bpf_object__get_prog_fd_by_num; > } LIBBPF_0.0.1; >

Your suggestion sounds good, but I'm wondering about the actual implementation. I suppose that we would choose the program via command line. Some program section names in this sample are a bit long and it might be irritating for user to type in for example "xdp_cpu_map5_lb_hash_ip_pairs", no? Or maybe we can live with this. In case of typo and program being not found it would be good to print out the section names to choose from in usage(). > > Signed-off-by: Maciej Fijalkowski <maciejromanfijalkowski@gmail.com> > > Reviewed-by: Jakub Kicinski <jakub.kicinski@netronome.com> > > --- > > tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.c | 8 ++++++++ > > tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.h | 3 +++ > > tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.map | 1 + > > 3 files changed, 12 insertions(+) > > > > diff --git a/tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.c b/tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.c > > index dc838bea403f..21c84d0f6128 100644 > > --- a/tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.c > > +++ b/tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.c > > @@ -935,6 +935,14 @@ static int bpf_object__elf_collect(struct bpf_object *obj, int flags) > > return err; > > } > > > > +int > > +bpf_object__get_prog_fd_by_num(struct bpf_object *obj, int idx) > > +{ > > + if (idx >= 0 && idx < obj->nr_programs) > > + return bpf_program__fd(&obj->programs[idx]); > > + return -ENOENT; > > +} > > + > > static struct bpf_program * > > bpf_object__find_prog_by_idx(struct bpf_object *obj, int idx) > > { > > diff --git a/tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.h b/tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.h > > index 7f10d36abdde..ca1b381cb3ad 100644 > > --- a/tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.h > > +++ b/tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.h > > @@ -95,6 +95,9 @@ LIBBPF_API int bpf_object__btf_fd(const struct bpf_object *obj); > > LIBBPF_API struct bpf_program * > > bpf_object__find_program_by_title(struct bpf_object *obj, const char *title); > > > > +LIBBPF_API int > > +bpf_object__get_prog_fd_by_num(struct bpf_object *obj, int idx); > > + > > LIBBPF_API struct bpf_object *bpf_object__next(struct bpf_object *prev); > > #define bpf_object__for_each_safe(pos, tmp) \ > > for ((pos) = bpf_object__next(NULL), \ > > diff --git a/tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.map b/tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.map > > index 7c59e4f64082..871d2fc07150 100644 > > --- a/tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.map > > +++ b/tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.map > > @@ -127,4 +127,5 @@ LIBBPF_0.0.1 { > > LIBBPF_0.0.2 { > > global: > > bpf_object__find_map_fd_by_name; > > + bpf_object__get_prog_fd_by_num; > > } LIBBPF_0.0.1; > > >

Some program Yes, selection for loading prog could be done through that. > section names in this sample are a bit long and it might be irritating for > user to type in for example "xdp_cpu_map5_lb_hash_ip_pairs", no? Or maybe we I think that's an implementation detail of this specific sample. For the prog number, the user would need to first look up the source and figure out the prog number correlation to the name that should be loaded which is a bit ugly (unless I missed something). So we might as well make it easier and allow to choose by name. Figuring out which programs are available in an object file is a separate tooling issue, imho. readelf is one way but not optimal, and it would be a nice addition to bpftool as brought up at plumbers [0] to dump the contents of a bpf obj file. Latter might also be nice to enrich with BTF info when present (e.g. types, line annotation etc) so this would be much more powerful than plain introspection via readelf.

Please feel free to deprecate or remove the xdp_redirect_cpu --prognum option. I would prefer if this was indeed converted to selecting the program based on the name in the _kern.c file, instead of a number. Listing the avail programs will be helpful, and you can also shorten/rename the program names. For easy of use, consider doing like 'ip' tool from[1] iproute2, and find the first best matching string. Copy pasted code below signature for inspiration.

Would it be acceptable to print them from within libbpf? Something as trivial as: void bpf_object__print_type_sections(struct bpf_object *obj, enum bpf_prog_type type) { struct bpf_program *prog; bpf_object__for_each_program(prog, obj) { if (bpf_program__is_type(prog, type)) pr_info("section %s\n", prog->section_name); } } Or do we want to add a accessor for section_name and go through programs in application?
