[PATCH bpf-next v3 2/3] selftests/hid: Load only requested struct_ops maps

From: Yiyang Chen

Date: Mon Jun 22 2026 - 03:31:25 EST


The HID selftest skeleton contains several struct_ops maps, but each test
usually wants to load only the programs named by that test.

load_programs() disabled auto-attach for all maps, but left struct_ops
autocreate enabled. libbpf can enable autoload for programs referenced by
autocreated struct_ops maps, so an unrelated program can be loaded and fail
even when the current test does not use it.

Disable autocreate for all struct_ops maps by default, then re-enable it
only for the maps selected by the test before loading the skeleton.
