Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v2 05/11] selftests/bpf: Add a test for the sealed bpf keyring
Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2026 16:25:24 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260825142530.1329706-6-daniel@iogearbox.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260825142530.1329706-1-daniel@iogearbox.net>
bpf_keyring_sealed checks that a load naming the bpf keyring fails while
the keyring has not been provisioned. It uses a junk signature as the
size check and the keyring lookup both happen before any crypto, so the
error under test is reached without a real signature and the ordering is
what gets verified:
# LDLIBS=-static PKG_CONFIG='pkg-config --static' ./vmtest.sh -- ./test_progs -t signed_loader
