There were 2 problems with the existing implementation:

  • cl.loadMap would mutate the original MapSpec before loading
  • map compatibility was checked before cl.loadMap applied the BPF_F_MMAPABLE flag

To address this, the following changes were made:

  • MapSpec.Copy() is called in loadMap, to follow suit with cl.loadProgram
  • the compatibility check on MapReplacements was deferred to loadMap, after flags are mutated
  • Added a superficial CollectionSpec mutation test after loading, using the same logic as TestLoadCollectionSpec. testutils.IsDeepCopy() isn't usable here since MapSpec.Copy() doesn't deepcopy .Contents.
  • Added a regression test on using .data and .rodata in MapReplacements
