It is useful to print map ID on successful creation.

JSON case:
$ ./bpftool -j map create /sys/fs/bpf/test_map4 type hash key 4 value 8 entries 128 name map4
{"id":12}

Generic case:
$ ./bpftool  map create /sys/fs/bpf/test_map5 type hash key 4 value 8 entries 128 name map5
Map successfully created with ID: 15

I think you can remove close(fd) here,

+        goto exit;

  exit:

and put close(fd) here.

I think we need one more close_fd: label and then put a close(fd); here. As there are other gotos to exit earlier in this function when fd is uninitialized, which can the error like:

map.c: In function ‘do_create’:
map.c:1375:9: warning: ‘fd’ may be used uninitialized [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
 1375 |         close(fd);
      |         ^~~~~~~~~
map.c:1258:23: note: ‘fd’ was declared here
 1258 |         int err = -1, fd;
      |                       ^~



So, maybe we could do something like this:

        err = do_pin_fd(fd, pinfile);
-       close(fd);
        if (err)
-               goto exit;
+               goto close_fd;

-       if (json_output)
-               jsonw_null(json_wtr);
+       err = bpf_obj_get_info_by_fd(fd, &map_info, &map_info_len);
+       if (err) {
+               p_err("Failed to fetch map info: %s\n", strerror(errno));
+               goto close_fd;
+       }

+       if (json_output) {
+               jsonw_start_object(json_wtr);
+               jsonw_int_field(json_wtr, "id", map_info.id);
+               jsonw_end_object(json_wtr);
+       } else {
+               printf("Map successfully created with ID: %u\n", map_info.id);
+       }
+close_fd:
+       close(fd);
 exit:
        if (attr.inner_map_fd > 0)
                close(attr.inner_map_fd);

I can prepare a v2 with this change, but wouldn't it be simpler to add a
direct close(fd); on the few error paths instead of introducing an
additional label for close(fd);?

The above change LGTM. Thanks!


Thoughts/Suggestions ?

Thanks,
Harshit


      if (attr.inner_map_fd > 0)
          close(attr.inner_map_fd);
