Returns 0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure.

static long (* const bpf_sock_hash_update)(struct bpf_sock_ops *skops, void *map, void *key, __u64 flags) = (void *) 70;

Usage

The skops is used as a new value for the entry associated to key. flags is one of:

  • BPF_NOEXIST - The entry for key must not exist in the map.
  • BPF_EXIST - The entry for key must already exist in the map.
  • BPF_ANY - No condition on the existence of the entry for key.

If the map has eBPF programs (parser and verdict), those will be inherited by the socket being added. If the socket is already attached to eBPF programs, this results in an error.
