[PATCH bpf-next v2] libbpf: Add a check to ensure that page_cnt is non-zero

From: Yuntao Wang
Date: Wed Mar 02 2022 - 20:02:37 EST


The page_cnt parameter is used to specify the number of memory pages
allocated for each per-CPU buffer, it must be non-zero and a power of 2.

Currently, the __perf_buffer__new() function attempts to validate that
the page_cnt is a power of 2 but forgets checking for the case where
page_cnt is zero, we can fix it by replacing 'page_cnt & (page_cnt - 1)'
with 'page_cnt == 0 || (page_cnt & (page_cnt - 1))'.

If so, we also don't need to add a check in perf_buffer__new_v0_6_0() to
make sure that page_cnt is non-zero and the check for zero in
perf_buffer__new_raw_v0_6_0() can also be removed.

The code will be cleaner and more readable.
