I can follow up with one line fix too.

I can follow up with one line fix too. that would be simplest, probably, thanks!

diff --git a/tools/lib/bpf/libbpf_internal.h b/tools/lib/bpf/libbpf_internal.h index 377642ff51fc..98333a6c38e9 100644 --- a/tools/lib/bpf/libbpf_internal.h +++ b/tools/lib/bpf/libbpf_internal.h @@ -543,10 +543,9 @@ static inline int ensure_good_fd(int fd) fd = fcntl(fd, F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC, 3); saved_errno = errno; close(old_fd); - if (fd < 0) { + errno = saved_errno; + if (fd < 0) pr_warn("failed to dup FD %d to FD > 2: %d\n", old_fd, -saved_errno); - errno = saved_errno; - } } return fd; }
In the ensure_good_fd function, if the fcntl function succeeds but the close function fails, ensure_good_fd returns a normal fd and sets errno, which may cause users to misunderstand. The close failure is not a serious problem, and the correct FD has been handed over to the upper-layer application. Let's restore errno here.
