[BPF v1] tools: bpftool: Fix JSON output when lookup fails
From: Krzesimir Nowak
Date: Wed Jun 05 2019 - 15:22:09 EST
In commit 9a5ab8bf1d6d ("tools: bpftool: turn err() and info() macros
into functions") one case of error reporting was special cased, so it
could report a lookup error for a specific key when dumping the map
element. What the code forgot to do is to wrap the key and value keys
into a JSON object, so an example output of pretty JSON dump of a
sockhash map (which does not support looking up its values) is:
[
"key": ["0x0a","0x41","0x00","0x02","0x1f","0x78","0x00","0x00"
],
"value": {
"error": "Operation not supported"
},
"key": ["0x0a","0x41","0x00","0x02","0x1f","0x78","0x00","0x01"
],
"value": {
"error": "Operation not supported"
}
]
Note the key-value pairs inside the toplevel array. They should be
wrapped inside a JSON object, otherwise it is an invalid JSON. This
commit fixes this, so the output now is:
[{
"key": ["0x0a","0x41","0x00","0x02","0x1f","0x78","0x00","0x00"
],
"value": {
"error": "Operation not supported"
}
},{
"key": ["0x0a","0x41","0x00","0x02","0x1f","0x78","0x00","0x01"
],
"value": {
"error": "Operation not supported"
}
}
]
