PATCH 1/1 lib/bpf: fix map-in-map creation without prepopulation
When creating map-in-maps, the outer map can be prepopulated using the inner_idx field of inner maps. That field defines the index of the inner map in the outer map. It is ignored if set to -1.
Commit 6d61a2b55799 ("lib: add libbpf support") however started using that field to identify inner maps. While iterating over all maps looking for inner maps, maps with inner_idx set to -1 are erroneously skipped. As a result, trying to create a map-in-map with prepopulation disabled fails because the inner_id of the outer map is not correctly set.
This bug can be observed with strace -ebpf (notice the zero inner_map_fd for the outer map creation):
bpf(BPF_MAP_CREATE, {map_type=BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY, key_size=4, value_size=130996, max_entries=1, map_flags=0, inner_map_fd=0, map_name="maglev_inner", map_ifindex=0, btf_fd=0, btf_key_type_id=0, btf_value_type_id=0}, 128) = 32
bpf(BPF_MAP_CREATE, {map_type=BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH_OF_MAPS, key_size=2, value_size=4, max_entries=65536, map_flags=BPF_F_NO_PREALLOC, inner_map_fd=0, map_name="maglev_outer", map_ifindex=0, btf_fd=0, btf_key_type_id=0, btf_value_type_id=0}, 128) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)Fixes 6d61a2b55799 ("lib: add libbpf support")
