Subject: [PATCH bpf-next] selftests/bpf: use ASSERT_STRNEQ to factor in long slab cache names
Date: Tue, 18 Nov 2025 07:37:34 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251118073734.4188710-1-mattbobrowski@google.com> (raw)

subtest_kmem_cache_iter_check_slabinfo() fundamentally compares slab
cache names parsed out from /proc/slabinfo against those stored within
struct kmem_cache_result. The current problem is that the slab cache
name within struct kmem_cache_result is stored within a bounded
fixed-length array (sized to SLAB_NAME_MAX(32)), whereas the name
parsed out from /proc/slabinfo is not. Meaning, using ASSERT_STREQ()
can certainly lead to test failures, particularly when dealing with
slab cache names that are longer than SLAB_NAME_MAX(32)
bytes. Notably, kmem_cache_create() allows callers to create slab
caches with somewhat arbitrarily sized names via its __name identifier
argument, so exceeding the SLAB_NAME_MAX(32) limit that is in place
now can certainly happen.

Make subtest_kmem_cache_iter_check_slabinfo() more reliable by only
checking up to sizeof(struct kmem_cache_result.name) - 1 using
ASSERT_STRNEQ().
