Subject: [PATCH] selftests/bpf: convert lirc_mode2 to prog_tests and extend coverage
Date: Thu, 20 Aug 2026 18:51:51 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260820175154.708374-1-sean@mess.org> (raw)
While porting, extend coverage of the BPF_LIRC_MODE2 attach/detach/
query API:
- bpf_prog_attach() with invalid flags is rejected with -EINVAL
and does not attach the program
- bpf_prog_query() with invalid flags is rejected with -EINVAL
without disturbing existing attachments
- bpf_prog_query() reports the correct program id, not just count,
at each step, via bpf_prog_get_info_by_fd()
- a lirc chardev can hold more than one attached program: load a
second, independent instance, attach it alongside the first,
confirm both are reported by bpf_prog_query(), then detach it
without disturbing the first program's attachment
- detaching an already-detached program consistently fails with
-ENOENT, for both the first and second program

+// A lirc chardev is a device representing a consumer IR (cir) device which
+// can receive infrared signals from remote control and/or transmit IR.
+//
+// IR is sent as a series of pulses and space somewhat like morse code. The
+// BPF program can decode this into scancodes so that rc-core can translate
+// this into input key codes using the rc keymap.
+//
+// This test works by sending IR over rc-loopback, so the IR is processed by
+// BPF and then decoded into scancodes. The lirc chardev must be the one
+// associated with rc-loopback, see the output of ir-keytable(1).
+//
+// The following CONFIG options must be enabled for the test to succeed:
+// CONFIG_RC_CORE=y
+// CONFIG_BPF_RAWIR_EVENT=y
+// CONFIG_RC_LOOPBACK=y
