Subject: [PATCH bpf v1 2/2] selftests/bpf: Add protocol check test for bpf_sk_assign_tcp_reqsk()
Date: Mon, 23 Mar 2026 18:54:50 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260323105510.51990-3-jiayuan.chen@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260323105510.51990-1-jiayuan.chen@linux.dev>
From: Jiayuan Chen <jiayuan.chen@shopee.com>
Add test_tcp_custom_syncookie_protocol_check to verify that
bpf_sk_assign_tcp_reqsk() rejects non-TCP skbs. The test sends a UDP
packet through a BPF program that calls bpf_sk_assign_tcp_reqsk() on it
and checks that the kfunc returns an error.
Without the fix in bpf_sk_assign_tcp_reqsk(), the kfunc succeeds and
attaches a TCP reqsk to the UDP skb, which causes a null pointer
dereference panic when the kernel processes it through the UDP receive
path.
Test result:
./test_progs -a tcp_custom_syncookie_protocol_check -v
setup_netns:PASS:create netns 0 nsec

Summary: 1/0 PASSED, 0 SKIPPED, 0 FAILED
