[PATCH bpf-next 1/5] selftests/bpf: sockmap_redir: Simplify try_recv()
Posted by Michal Luczaj 4 days, 10 hours ago
try_recv() was meant to support both @expect_success cases, but all the
callers use @expect_success=false anyway. Drop the unused logic and fold in
MSG_DONTWAIT. Adapt callers.

Subtle change here: recv() return value of 0 will also be considered (an
unexpected) success.

This bit, which you highlighted in the description, I don't get.

If we're expecting to receive exactly one byte, why treat a short read
as a succcess? Why not make it a strict "n != 1" check?

Nevermind. It makes sense now. We do want to report a failure for 0-len
msg recv as well. You're effectively checking if the rcv queue is empty.

I'd add MSG_PEEK, to signal that we're _just checking_ if the socket is
readable, and turn the check into the below to succeed only when
queue is empty:

        (n != -1 || (errno != EAGAIN && errno != EWOULDBLOCK))

It's a minor thing. Leaving it up to you. Either way:

Well, looks like adding MSG_PEEK exposed a bug in the test. I'll fix that.

Thanks,
