Skip load steps for struct_ops maps not marked for automatic creation.
This should allow to load bpf object in situations like below:
SEC("struct_ops/foo") int BPF_PROG(foo) { ... }
SEC("struct_ops/bar") int BPF_PROG(bar) { ... }
struct test_ops___v1 {
int (*foo)(void);
};
struct test_ops___v2 {
int (*foo)(void);
int (*does_not_exist)(void);
};
SEC(".struct_ops.link")
struct test_ops___v1 map_for_old = {
.test_1 = (void *)foo
};
SEC(".struct_ops.link")
struct test_ops___v2 map_for_new = {
.test_1 = (void *)foo,
.does_not_exist = (void *)bar
};
Suppose program is loaded on old kernel that does not have definition
for 'does_not_exist' struct_ops member. After this commit it would be
possible to load such object file after the following tweaks:
bpf_program__set_autoload(skel->progs.bar, false);
bpf_map__set_autocreate(skel->maps.map_for_new, false);

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.
