Subject: [PATCH 0/2] selftests/bpf: make probe_user safe for parallel runs
Date: Thu, 26 Feb 2026 12:29:47 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1772079741.git.sun.jian.kdev@gmail.com> (raw)
The probe_user selftest attaches ksyscall hooks for connect() (and
socketcall() on s390). Historically this could corrupt other tests
calling connect(), which is why the test was marked as serial and
carried a TODO warning about cross-test corruption.
This series makes the test safe for parallel execution by filtering the
BPF-side instrumentation to the current test process only, and then
drops the serial restriction and the stale TODO comment.
Patch 1/2 adds a single-entry pid_map and checks current tgid (process
ID) before calling bpf_probe_read_user()/bpf_probe_write_user(). The
userspace test writes its PID into the map after loading the object.
Patch 2/2 drops the serial_ prefix and removes the outdated TODO, since
cross-test interference is no longer possible.
Tested on x86_64 (clang):
./test_progs -t probe_user -v
./test_progs -j$(nproc) -t probe_user
