[PATCH bpf-next] libbpf: Add bpf_map__set_name()

From: Joe Burton
Date: Wed Jul 13 2022 - 17:43:06 EST


From: Joe Burton <jevburton@xxxxxxxxxx>

Add the capability to set a `struct bpf_map` name.

bpf_map__reuse_fd(struct bpf_map *map, int fd) does the following:

1. get the bpf_map_info of the passed-in fd
2. strdup the name from the bpf_map_info
3. assign that name to the map
4. and some other stuff

While `map.name` may initially be arbitrarily long, this operation
truncates it after 15 characters.

We have some infrastructure that uses bpf_map__reuse_fd() to preserve
maps across upgrades. Some of our users have long map names, and are
seeing their maps 'disappear' after an upgrade, due to the name
truncation.

By invoking `bpf_map__set_name()` after `bpf_map__reuse_fd()`, we can
trivially work around the issue.
