Basically for iproute2, we would add libbpf library support on top of the current loader, this means existing object files keep working as-is, and users would have to decide whether they want to go with the new format or stick to the old one; incentive for the new format would be to get all the other libbpf features from upstream automatically. Though it means that once they switch there is no object file compatibility with older iproute2 versions anymore. For the case of Cilium, the container image ships with its own iproute2 version as we don't want to rely on distros that they keep iproute2<->kernel release in sync (some really don't). Switch should be fine in our case. For people upgrading, the 'external' behavior (e.g. bpf fs interaction etc) would need to stay the same to not run into any service disruption when switching versions. >1. Pinning.

I would just drop the object-scope pinning. We avoided using it and I'm not aware if anyone else make use. It also has the ugly side-effect that this relies on AF_ALG which e.g. on some cloud provider shipped kernels is disabled. The pinning attribute should be part of the standard set of map attributes for libbpf though as it's generally useful for networking applications. >2.

My expectation would have been something around the following to make this work: struct my_inner_map { int type; int max_entries; int *key; struct my_value *value; } btf_inner SEC(".maps") = { .type = BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY, .max_entries = 16, }; And: struct { int type; int max_entries; int *key; struct my_inner_map *value; } btf_outer SEC(".maps") = { .type = BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY, .max_entries = 16, .value = &btf_inner, }; And the loader should figure this out and combine everything in the background. Otherwise above 'struct inner_map_t value' would be mixing convention of using pointer vs non-pointer which may be even more confusing. >3. Initialization of prog array.

As an added nice bonus, >compiler should also warn on signature mismatch. ;) Seems okay, I guess the explicit initialization could lead people to think that /after/ loading completed the NULL entries really won't have anything in that tail call slot. In our case, we share some of the tail call maps for different programs and each a different __section_tail(, idx), but in the end it's just a matter of initialization by index for the above. iproute2 today fetches the map from bpf fs if present, and only updates slots with __section_tail() present in the object file. Invocation would again be via index I presume (tail_call(skb, &policy_map, skb->mark), for example). For the __section_tail(MAP_ID, MAP_IDX), we do dynamically generate the MAP_IDX define in some cases, but that MAP_IDX would then simply be used in above POLICY_CALL_MAP instead; seems fine. >4.
