Subject: [PATCH bpf-next] selftests/bpf: fix off-by-one in bpf_cpumask_populate related selftest
Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2026 09:37:34 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260420093734.2400330-1-mattbobrowski@google.com> (raw)

The test_populate test uses >= instead of > when checking if the
runtime nr_cpus exceeds the bit capacity of a cpumask_t.

On a system where the physical CPU core count perfectly matches the
CONFIG_NR_CPUS upper bound (e.g. nr_cpus = 512 and CONFIG_NR_CPUS =
512), the condition nr_cpus >= CPUMASK_TEST_MASKLEN * 8 evaluates to
true (512 >= 512). This incorrectly causes the test to fail with an
error value of 3.

A 512-bit cpumask_t provides enough bits (indices 0 through 511) to
represent 512 CPUs. The subsequent bpf_for(i, 0, nr_cpus) loop
iterates up to nr_cpus - 1 (511), which perfectly aligns with the
maximum valid index of the bitmask.

Change the condition to nr_cpus > CPUMASK_TEST_MASKLEN * 8 to fix the
false positive failure on these systems.
