[LTP] [PATCH v3 2/2] cve-2026-46331: fix intermittent ENOENT failure

[Andrea Cervesato]

From: Andrea Cervesato <andrea.cervesato@suse.com>

The required qdisc, classifier and action modules cannot be
autoloaded from the unprivileged user namespace, so arming the
traffic filter sometimes failed with ENOENT.

Preload the modules as root before dropping privileges and entering
the network namespace.

This is still missing the additions to the CONFIG -> module map.

The body restates what the subject already says. Is there a sentence
missing that explains what prompted these additions -- e.g. that the
following patch (cve-2026-46331) needs them for the kconfig module
check to work when the features are built as modules?

The three modules loaded by tst_modprobe() are never unloaded. cleanup()
has no matching tst_module_unload() calls, so sch_ingress, cls_matchall
and act_pedit remain in the kernel after the test exits.

The constraint is structural: SAFE_SETUID() permanently drops root, so
cleanup() runs as "nobody" and cannot call rmmod even if the call were
added there.

Is the expectation that these modules are present on any system running
this test, making the omission intentional? If so, a short comment in
cleanup() noting that module unload is skipped because privileges have
been dropped would make the intent clear.

Verdict - Needs revision

That's achieved in the just commented code :-) feel free to add RB tag,
I will merge the patch then.

Sigh, sorry, I shouldn't have doing reviews in the late evening. Let me
do a proper review now.

The last thing I wonder about is if this should stay here, since we now
use the tst_modprobe() the library should handle this dependency
instead.

Other than that:
