Hi,

I'm trying to run sockex2 and sockex3 but got the error:
[root@vm-dev bpf]# ./sockex2
failed to create a map: 1 Operation not permitted

Then I found that I have max locked memory set to 64K, after reconfig
to unlimited then the bpf map is created and sockex2/3 works fine.
The hash_map created in sockex2_kern.c should be less than 64k (1024
entry * (sizeof (__be32) + sizeof(struct pair)), so I don't understand
why increasing max locked memory solves the error.

Or should we increase the lock memory in the beginning?

kernel counts the real cost of the map including kernel internal fields.
See htab_map_alloc()

yes. we started to use that it most of the new tests.
pls send the official patch to netdev.

Hi Alexei,

Thank you, I've sent the patch to netdev.

Regards,
William
