Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 2/4] selftests/bpf: Check malloc result with ASSERT_NEQ in test_sha256
Date: Wed, 15 Jul 2026 13:22:01 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <f9dec09cca0c2aa5eeb4fdcd400a13aa19e2c073.1784112948.git.vmalik@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1784112948.git.vmalik@redhat.com>
Replace ASSERT_OK_PTR by ASSERT_NEQ(res, NULL, ...) when checking the
result of malloc. It is more accurate since malloc returns NULL, not an
error code, on failure and it also prevents the following false GCC
warning when compiling BPF selftests with -O2:
In file included from /bpf-next/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/prog_tests/sha256.c:4:
/bpf-next/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/prog_tests/sha256.c: In function ‘test_sha256’:
