Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v3 10/10] selftests: bpf: Fix test_bpf_nf for trusted args becoming default
Date: Fri, 2 Jan 2026 10:00:36 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260102180038.2708325-11-puranjay@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260102180038.2708325-1-puranjay@kernel.org>
With trusted args now being the default, passing NULL to kfunc
parameters that are pointers causes verifier rejection rather than a
runtime error. The test_bpf_nf test was failing because it attempted to
pass NULL to bpf_xdp_ct_lookup() to verify runtime error handling.
Since the NULL check now happens at verification time, remove the
runtime test case that passed NULL to the bpf_tuple parameter and
instead add verification-time tests to ensure the verifier correctly
rejects programs that pass NULL to trusted arguments.
