Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 0/2] libbpf: add an option to reuse maps when loading a program

The following two patches add an option for users to reuse existing maps when
loading a program using the bpf_prog_load_xattr function.  A user can specify a
directory containing pinned maps inside the bpf_prog_load_attr structure, and in
this case the bpf_prog_load_xattr function will replace (bpf_map__reuse_fd) all
maps defined in the object with file descriptors obtained from corresponding
entries from the specified directory.

Anton Protopopov (2):
  bpf, libbpf: add a new API bpf_object__reuse_maps()
  bpf, libbpf: add an option to reuse existing maps in bpf_prog_load_xattr
