[PATCH bpf-next v4] bpftool: Check map name length when map create

From: Rong Tao

From: Rong Tao <rongtao@xxxxxxxx>

The size of struct bpf_map::name is BPF_OBJ_NAME_LEN (16).

bpf(2) {
map_create() {
bpf_obj_name_cpy(map->name, attr->map_name, sizeof(attr->map_name));
}
}

When specifying a map name using bpftool map create name, no error is
reported if the name length is greater than 15.

$ sudo bpftool map create /sys/fs/bpf/12345678901234567890 \
type array key 4 value 4 entries 5 name 12345678901234567890

Users will think that 12345678901234567890 is legal, but this name cannot
be used to index a map.

$ sudo bpftool map show name 12345678901234567890
Error: can't parse name

$ sudo bpftool map show
...
1249: array name 123456789012345 flags 0x0
key 4B value 4B max_entries 5 memlock 304B

$ sudo bpftool map show name 123456789012345
1249: array name 123456789012345 flags 0x0
key 4B value 4B max_entries 5 memlock 304B

The map name provided in the command line is truncated, but no warning is
reported. This submission checks the length of the map name.
