From 77e9d2277dd1518f84b6975a1885c5566cdfad0f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yuan Chen Date: Wed, 10 Jun 2026 22:50:53 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] libbpf: Skip bpf_object__probe_loading() when BPF token is in use bpf_object__probe_loading() tries to load trivial SOCKET_FILTER and TRACEPOINT programs to verify the BPF environment works. When a BPF token is in use with restricted program type permissions, these probe loads may fail because the token does not allow the specific program types, even though BPF loading is perfectly functional. Fix by skipping the probe when a token FD is present: BPF token creation itself proves the kernel has a working BPF subsystem. Real BPF issues will be caught during actual program and map loading.
