Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v2 2/3] selftests/bpf: Test freeing a struct_ops map under a running prog
Date: Sat, 10 Oct 2026 14:13:19 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261010-selftests-bpf-struct-ops-assoc-timer-v2-2-d7a43896dbf1@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261010-selftests-bpf-struct-ops-assoc-timer-v2-0-d7a43896dbf1@gmail.com>

st_ops_assoc_in_timer_no_uref drops every reference to the struct_ops
map while a timer callback of its prog calls .test_1 through the
association, and checks that the callback ends up with no struct_ops.

The timer first fires 500ms later and .test_1 returns right away, so the
callback hardly ever runs .test_1 while the map is freed, and the test
can't catch a map that is freed under a running .test_1.

Add st_ops_assoc_in_timer_free, which starts the timer right away,
restarts it with no delay until the association is gone, and makes
.test_1 spin in bpf_loop() when the timer callback calls it. Share the
steps of st_ops_assoc_in_timer_no_uref with it through a helper.

st_ops_assoc_in_timer_free run in a loop on kernels of the same bpf-next
commit with KASAN enabled, x86_64 VM with 32 vCPUs, without and with
the previous fix:

              without the fix           with the fix
  outcome     Oops (int3) on run 1      100 of 100 passed, 0.28 s each
