Calling conventions for __bpf_map_get() would be more convenient if it left fpdut() on failure to callers. Makes for simpler logics in the callers. Among other things, the proof of memory safety no longer has to rely upon file->private_data never being ERR_PTR(...) for bpffs files. Original calling conventions made it impossible for the caller to tell whether __bpf_map_get() has returned ERR_PTR(-EINVAL) because it has found the file not be a bpf map one (in which case it would've done fdput()) or because it found that ERR_PTR(-EINVAL) in file->private_data of a bpf map file (in which case fdput() would _not_ have been done).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
