Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v4 7/8] selftests/bpf: cast explicitly in the struct_ops arena triggers
Date: Tue, 3 Nov 2026 10:18:15 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261103181816.254686-8-vineet.gupta@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261103181816.254686-1-vineet.gupta@linux.dev>
trigger() in struct_ops_arena.c and its three siblings puts the
__BPF_FEATURE_ADDR_SPACE_CAST guard inside the function, so without
arena support the body is gone and the program falls through to
"return 0". The host side then does
err = bpf_prog_test_run_opts(bpf_program__fd(trigger), &topts);
ASSERT_OK(err, "test_run");
ASSERT_EQ(topts.retval, 0, "trigger_retval");
and passes, having run a program that did nothing.
These are not driven by test_loader, so __skip_without_arena cannot
reach them. They do not need it: cast_kern() is a nop when the
compiler supports the address space and bpf_addr_space_cast(ptr, 0, 1)
when it does not, so one cast makes the body work either way and the
tests run for real instead of being skipped.
No verdict changes: struct_ops_arena/arena_arg and /arena_autobind
reported OK before, from an empty body, and report OK now from one
that runs. What changes is that the OK means something.

v3 -> v4: was 8/8. cast_kern() instead of the skip_tests flag in
.data, so these run rather than skip. (Alexei)
