Subject: [LTP] [PATCH v4 3/4] tst_kconfig: add module mappings for vsock/vsock_loopback
Date: Wed, 14 Oct 2026 14:12:01 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261014061202.56362-4-li.wang@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261014061202.56362-1-li.wang@linux.dev>
From: "Li Wang (Hieco)" <li.wang@linux.dev>
Map CONFIG_VSOCKETS to "vsock" and CONFIG_VSOCKETS_LOOPBACK to
"vsock_loopback" so tst_kconfig can load them on demand.
cve-2025-21756 binds to VMADDR_CID_LOCAL and therefore needs
vsock_loopback. Without the module loaded, bind() fails with
EADDRNOTAVAIL and the test aborts with TBROK. Declare both configs in
needs_kconfigs so the modules are loaded first.
The test needs root only to load the modules; the reproducer runs as
an ordinary non-root process in the initial namespace, where it can
use loopback VSOCK on non-privileged ports. Drop privileges to nobody
after the modules are loaded, and regain root in cleanup() so the
modules can be unloaded again.
