s/SZIE/SIZE

Hi Hou, thank you for your reply!
My bad, i will fix it in v2.

can check the value size whether it exceeds PCPU_MIN_UNIT_SZIE first,

The same typo here.
like percpu map of local_storage. Maybe the error message seems clearer
compared with "cannot allocate memory".

the test case we create a percpu map with large value like:
struct test_t {
int a[100000];
};
struct {
__uint(type, BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERCPU_ARRAY);
__uint(max_entries, 1);
__type(key, u32);
__type(value, struct test_t);
} start SEC(".maps");

test on ubuntu24.04 vm:
libbpf: Error in bpf_create_map_xattr(start):Argument list too long(-7).
Retrying without BTF.

Could you please convert it into a separated bpf selftest patch ?

No problem, i will add test case in v2.

Make sense. However because the map passes round_up(attr->value_size, 8)

Yeah, you are right, it seems better, i will add it in v2.

to bpf_map_alloc_percpu(). Is it more reasonable to check
round_up(value_size) > PCPU_MIN_UNIT_SIZE instead ?

The percpu allocation logic is the same as the array map:
round_up(value_size, 8) is used.

ok.

return 0;
}
