selftests: tc_actions: don't dump 2MB of \0 to stdout

2026-02-26T23:01:32+00:00

[ Upstream commit 32b70e62034aa72f8414ad4e9122cce7ad418c48 ] Since we started running selftests in NIPA we have been seeing tc_actions.sh generate a soft lockup warning on ~20% of the runs. On the pre-netdev foundation setup it was actually a missed irq splat from the console. Now it's either that or a lockup. I initially suspected a socket locking issue since the test is exercising local loopback with act_mirred. After hours of staring at this I noticed in strace that ncat when -o $file is specified _both_ saves the output to the file and still prints it to stdout. Because the file being sent is constructed with: dd conv=sparse status=none if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=2 of=$mirred ^^^^^^^^^ the data printed is all \0. Most terminals don't display nul characters (and neither does vng output capture save them). But QEMU's serial console still has to poke them thru which is very slow and causes the lockup (if the file is >600kB). Replace the '-o $file' with '> $file'. This speeds the test up from 2m20s to 18s on debug kernels, and prevents the warnings.

bpftool: Fix truncated netlink dumps

2026-02-26T23:01:32+00:00

[ Upstream commit 3b39d73cc3379360a33eb583b17f21fe55e1288e ] Netlink requires that the recv buffer used during dumps is at least min(PAGE_SIZE, 8k) (see the man page). Otherwise the messages will get truncated. Make sure bpftool follows this requirement, avoid missing information on systems with large pages.

selftests: forwarding: fix pedit tests failure with br_netfilter enabled

2026-02-26T23:01:31+00:00

[ Upstream commit a8c198d16c64cdf57f481a4cd3e769502802369e ] The tests use the tc pedit action to modify the IPv4 source address ("pedit ex munge ip src set"), but the IP header checksum is not recalculated after the modification. As a result, the modified packet fails sanity checks in br_netfilter after bridging and is dropped, which causes the test to fail. Fix this by ensuring net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables is set to 0 during the test execution. This prevents the bridge from passing L2 traffic to netfilter, bypassing the checksum validation that causes the test failure.

selftests: mlxsw: tc_restrictions: Fix test failure with new iproute2

[ Upstream commit a2646773a005b59fd1dc7ff3ba15df84889ca5d2 ] As explained in [1], iproute2 started rejecting tc-police burst sizes that result in an overflow. This can happen when the burst size is high enough and the rate is low enough. A couple of test cases specify such configurations, resulting in iproute2 errors and test failure. Fix by reducing the burst size so that the test will pass with both new and old iproute2 versions.

selftests/memfd: use IPC semaphore instead of SIGSTOP/SIGCONT

2026-02-26T23:01:29+00:00

[ Upstream commit b24335521de92fd2ee22460072b75367ca8860b0 ] selftests/memfd: use IPC semaphore instead of SIGSTOP/SIGCONT In order to synchronize new processes to test inheritance of memfd_noexec sysctl, memfd_test sets up the sysctl with a value before creating the new process. The new process then sends itself a SIGSTOP in order to wait for the parent to flip the sysctl value and send a SIGCONT signal. This would work as intended if it wasn't the fact that the new process is being created with CLONE_NEWPID, which creates a new PID namespace and the new process has PID 1 in this namespace. There're restrictions on sending signals to PID 1 and, although it's relaxed for other than root PID namespace, it's biting us here. In this specific case the SIGSTOP sent by the new process is ignored (no error to kill() is returned) and it never stops its execution. This is usually not noticiable as the parent usually manages to set the new sysctl value before the child has a chance to run and the test succeeds. But if you run the test in a loop, it eventually reproduces: while [ 1 ]; do ./memfd_test >log 2>&1 || break; done; cat log So this patch replaces the SIGSTOP/SIGCONT synchronization with IPC semaphore.
