Re: [PATCH bpf-next 3/3] bpf: btf: json print map dump with btf info

[Quentin Monnet <quentin.monnet@netronome.com>]

Hi Okash,

Thanks for the patch! Please find some nitpicks inline below.

Nit: Please align the second line on the opening parenthesis.

Same comment.

This is not the root JSON object, which is not produced in that
function, so I find the comment misleading.

I also find it confusing that it closes the first JSON object of this
function if there is an error, but the second if "btf_dumper_type()"
succeeds. What about the following: closing the first object in all
cases, before evaluating the value of "ret", and if "ret" is non-null
returning immediately; and completely removing the "goto" from this
function?

Nit: please sort declarations in reverse-Christmas-tree order.

"unable *to* allocate"?
(Also most other error messages do not end with a period, but here this
is just me being fussy.)

If I understand correctly, the first time you try to retrieve up to 4096
bytes, and if the btf_info is larger than this, you try a second time
with the size returned in btf_info.btf_size instead. I don't find it
intuitive (but maybe this is just me?), do you think you could add a
comment above this bloc maybe?

Nit: Please align the second line on the opening parenthesis.

Nit: No space between the cast and the name of the variable.

Same remark on parenthesis here...

... and here.

Reverse-Christmas-tree order, please.

Please add brackets around "print_entry_plain()" (to harmonise with the
"if" of the same bloc).
