Could you explain the rationale of this patch? bad2e478af3b ("selftests/bpf: Turn on libbpf 1.0 mode and fix all IS_ERR checks") explains: 'Fix all the explicit IS_ERR checks that now will be broken because libbpf returns NULL on error (and sets errno).' So the !link check looks totally reasonable to me. Converting to libbpf_get_error() is not wrong in itself, but given you don't make any use of the err code, there is also no point in this diff here.
Hi,
I was thinking that bpf_program__attach() can return error code theoretically(for example -ESRCH), and such case need to be handled.
I explicitly changed to NULL check + libbpf 1.0 error reporting mode because I don't care about specific error in benchmarks. So as Daniel and John pointed out, existing code is correct and doesn't need adjustment.
You are right, though, that error code is indeed returned, but you can check errno directly (but need to enable libbpf 1.0 mode) or use libbpf_get_error() (which will get deprecated some time before libbpf 1.0) if you don't know which mode your code will be run in.
Thanks, Yu Kuai
Thanks, Daniel .
