      bpf: btf: Support flags for BTF_SET8 sets · 79b47344
      Daniel Xu authored
      This commit adds support for flags on BTF_SET8s. struct btf_id_set8
      already supported 32 bits worth of flags, but was only used for
      alignment purposes before.
      
      We now use these bits to encode flags. The first use case is tagging
      kfunc sets with a flag so that pahole can recognize which
      BTF_ID_FLAGS(func, ..) are actual kfuncs.

      selftests/bpf: Disable IPv6 for lwt_redirect test · 2ef61296
      Manu Bretelle authored
      After a recent change in the vmtest runner, this test started failing
      sporadically.
      
      Investigation showed that this test was subject to race condition which
      got exacerbated after the vm runner change. The symptoms being that the
      logic that waited for an ICMPv4 packet is naive and will break if 5 or
      more non-ICMPv4 packets make it to tap0.
      When ICMPv6 is enabled, the kernel will generate traffic such as ICMPv6
      router solicitation...
      On a system with good performance, the expected ICMPv4 packet would very
      likely make it to the network interface promptly, but on a system with
      poor performance, those "guarantees" do not hold true anymore.
      
      Given that the test is IPv4 only, this change disable IPv6 in the test
      netns by setting `net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6` to 1.
      This essentially leaves "ping" as the sole generator of traffic in the
      network namespace.
      If this test was to be made IPv6 compatible, the logic in
      `wait_for_packet` would need to be modified.
      
      In more details...
      
      At a high level, the test does:
      - create a new namespace
      - in `setup_redirect_target` set up lo, tap0, and link_err interfaces as
        well as add 2 routes that attaches ingress/egress sections of
        `test_lwt_redirect.bpf.o` to the xmit path.
      - in `send_and_capture_test_packets` send an ICMP packet and read off
        the tap interface (using `wait_for_packet`) to check that a ICMP packet
        with the right size is read.
      
      `wait_for_packet` will try to read `max_retry` (5) times from the tap0
      fd looking for an ICMPv4 packet matching some criteria.
      
      The problem is that when we set up the `tap0` interface, because IPv6 is
      enabled by default, traffic such as Router solicitation is sent through
      tap0, as in:
      
        # tcpdump -r /tmp/lwt_redirect.pc
        reading from file /tmp/lwt_redirect.pcap, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet)
        04:46:23.578352 IP6 :: > ff02::1:ffc0:4427: ICMP6, neighbor solicitation, who has fe80::fcba:dff:fec0:4427, length 32
        04:46:23.659522 IP6 :: > ff02::16: HBH ICMP6, multicast listener report v2, 1 group record(s), length 28
        04:46:24.389169 IP 10.0.0.1 > 20.0.0.9: ICMP echo request, id 122, seq 1, length 108
        04:46:24.618599 IP6 fe80::fcba:dff:fec0:4427 > ff02::16: HBH ICMP6, multicast listener report v2, 1 group record(s), length 28
        04:46:24.619985 IP6 fe80::fcba:dff:fec0:4427 > ff02::2: ICMP6, router solicitation, length 16
        04:46:24.767326 IP6 fe80::fcba:dff:fec0:4427 > ff02::16: HBH ICMP6, multicast listener report v2, 1 group record(s), length 28
        04:46:28.936402 IP6 fe80::fcba:dff:fec0:4427 > ff02::2: ICMP6, router solicitation, length 16
      
      If `wait_for_packet` sees 5 non-ICMPv4 packets, it will return 0, which is what we see in:

      When running in a VM which potential resource contrains, the odds that calling
      `ping` is not scheduled very soon after bringing `tap0` up increases,
      and with this the chances to get our ICMP packet pushed to position 6+
      in the network trace.
      
      To confirm this indeed solves the issue, I ran the test 100 times in a
      row with:
      
        errors=0
        successes=0
        for i in `seq 1 100`
        do
          ./test_progs -t lwt_redirect/lwt_redirect_normal
          if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
            successes=$((successes+1))
          else
            errors=$((errors+1))
          fi
        done
        echo "successes: $successes/errors: $errors"
      
      While this test would at least fail a couple of time every 10 runs, here
      it ran 100 times with no error.
