Subject[PATCH bpf v2] tools: bpftool: fix infinite loop in map create
Date
From: Alban Crequy <alban@kinvolk.io>

"bpftool map create" has an infinite loop on "while (argc)". The error
case is missing.

Symptoms: when forgetting to type the keyword 'type' in front of 'hash':
$ sudo bpftool map create /sys/fs/bpf/dir/foobar hash key 8 value 8 entries 128
(infinite loop, taking all the CPU)
^C

After the patch:
$ sudo bpftool map create /sys/fs/bpf/dir/foobar hash key 8 value 8 entries 128
Error: unknown arg hash

Fixes: 0b592b5a01be ("tools: bpftool: add map create command")
Signed-off-by: Alban Crequy <alban@kinvolk.io>

Changes in v2:
- Explain the cause of the bug in commitmsg
- Add the "fixes" line in the commitmsg (Jakub's review)
- Rebase on the bpf tree

v1 was initially based on bpf-next and submitted on
