Subject: [PATCH bpf] libbpf: Prevent overriding errno when logging errors
Date: Thu, 13 Aug 2020 16:29:05 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200813142905.160381-1-toke@redhat.com> (raw)

Turns out there were a few more instances where libbpf didn't save the
errno before writing an error message, causing errno to be overridden by
the printf() return and the error disappearing if logging is enabled.
