selftests/bpf: Systematically add SO_REUSEADDR in start_server_addr

2025-11-06T23:23:00Z

Some tests have to stop/start a server multiple time with the same listening address. Doing so without SO_REUSADDR leads to failures due to the socket still being in TIME_WAIT right after the first instance stop/before the second instance start. Instead of letting each test manually set SO_REUSEADDR on their servers, it can be done automatically by start_server_addr for all tests (and without any major downside). Enforce SO_REUSEADDR in start_server_addr for all tests.

selftests/bpf: Add tc helpers

2025-10-29T18:07:24Z

The test_tunnel.c file defines small fonctions to easily attach eBPF programs to tc hooks, either on egress, ingress or both. Create a shared helper in network_helpers.c so that other tests can benefit from it.

selftests/bpf: More open-coded gettid syscall cleanup

2025-09-15T18:39:24Z

Commit 0e2fb011a0ba ("selftests/bpf: Clean up open-coded gettid syscall invocations") addressed the issue that older libc may not have a gettid() function call wrapper for the associated syscall. A few more instances have crept into tests, use sys_gettid() instead, and poison raw gettid() usage to avoid future issues.

selftests/bpf: Fix file descriptor assertion in open_tuntap helper

2025-03-06T20:31:08Z

The open_tuntap helper function uses open() to get a file descriptor for /dev/net/tun. The open(2) manpage writes this about its return value: On success, open(), openat(), and creat() return the new file descriptor (a nonnegative integer). On error, -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error. This means that the fd > 0 assertion in the open_tuntap helper is incorrect and should rather check for fd >= 0. When running the BPF selftests locally, this incorrect assertion was not an issue, but the BPF kernel-patches CI failed because of this: open_tuntap:FAIL:open(/dev/net/tun) unexpected open(/dev/net/tun): actual 0 <= expected 0 Signed-off-by: Marcus Wichelmann Signed-off-by: Martin KaFai Lau Reviewed-by: Willem de Bruijn Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250305213438.3863922-7-marcus.wichelmann@hetzner-cloud.de

selftests/bpf: Move open_tuntap to network helpers

2025-03-06T20:31:08Z

To test the XDP metadata functionality of the tun driver, it's necessary to create a new tap device first. A helper function for this already exists in lwt_helpers.h. Move it to the common network helpers header, so it can be reused in other tests.

selftests/bpf: Fix stdout race condition in traffic monitor

2025-02-14T01:06:25Z

Fix a race condition between the main test_progs thread and the traffic monitoring thread. The traffic monitor thread tries to print a line using multiple printf and use flockfile() to prevent the line from being torn apart. Meanwhile, the main thread doing io redirection can reassign or close stdout when going through tests. A deadlock as shown below can happen. main traffic_monitor_thread ==== ====================== show_transport() -> flockfile(stdout) stdio_hijack_init() -> stdout = open_memstream(log_buf, log_cnt); ... env.subtest_state->stdout_saved = stdout; ... funlockfile(stdout) stdio_restore_cleanup() -> fclose(env.subtest_state->stdout_saved); After the traffic monitor thread lock stdout, A new memstream can be assigned to stdout by the main thread. Therefore, the traffic monitor thread later will not be able to unlock the original stdout. As the main thread tries to access the old stdout, it will hang indefinitely as it is still locked by the traffic monitor thread. The deadlock can be reproduced by running test_progs repeatedly with traffic monitor enabled: for ((i=1;i<=100;i++)); do ./test_progs -a flow_dissector_skb* -m '*' done Fix this by only calling printf once and remove flockfile()/funlockfile().

selftests/bpf: use the same udp and tcp headers in tests under test_progs

2024-12-02T16:41:17Z

Trying to add udp-dedicated helpers in network_helpers involves including some udp header, which makes multiple test_progs tests build fail: In file included from ./progs/test_cls_redirect.h:13, from [...]/prog_tests/cls_redirect.c:15: [...]/usr/include/linux/udp.h:23:8: error: redefinition of ‘struct udphdr’ 23 | struct udphdr { | ^~~~~~ In file included from ./network_helpers.h:17, from [...]/prog_tests/cls_redirect.c:13: [...]/usr/include/netinet/udp.h:55:8: note: originally defined here 55 | struct udphdr | ^~~~~~ This error is due to struct udphdr being defined in both and . Use only in every test. While at it, perform the same for tcp.h. For some tests, the change needs to be done in the eBPF program part as well, because of some headers sharing between both sides.
