[PATCH bpf-next v2 5/5] selftests/bpf: Fix arena_spin_lock selftest failure
Posted by Saket Kumar Bhaskar 5 months, 1 week ago 
For systems having CONFIG_NR_CPUS set to > 1024 in kernel config
the selftest fails as arena_spin_lock_irqsave() returns EOPNOTSUPP.

The selftest is skipped incase bpf program returns EOPNOTSUPP,
with a descriptive message logged.

test_skip being set to `1` when the test runs seems counter intuitive.
How about setting test_skip to `0` when run conditions are met
and test_skip=1 if run conditions are not met and
test_skip=2 when operation is not supported?

That seems reasonable to me, but right now -EOPNOTSUPP is also
returned when run condition is not met i.e.:

  if (CONFIG_NR_CPUS > 1024)
                return -EOPNOTSUPP;

So do we really need test_skip = 2 ?

Thanks,
Saket

Also, when test_skip is initialized to 0 it is moved to bss segment 
from data segment:

        struct arena_spin_lock__arena {
                struct arena_qnode qnodes[1024][4];
                struct __qspinlock lock;
        } *arena;
        struct arena_spin_lock__bss {
                int test_skip;
                int counter;
                int limit;
                int cs_count;
        } *bss;

I dont have enough background here, as to if there is any specific 
reason to keep it in data segment:

        if (skel->data->test_skip == 2) {
                test__skip();
                goto end;
        }
