Subject: [PATCH 3/6] test: fix race condition in ELF load tests
Date: Sun, 18 Jan 2026 12:09:10 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260118201223.323024-4-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260118201223.323024-1-stephen@networkplumber.org>
The BPF ELF tests sporadically fail with EINVAL when loading from
the temporary file. This is a race condition where the BPF loader
reads the file before the data is fully flushed to disk.
Add fsync() before close() in create_temp_bpf_file() to ensure the
BPF object data is visible on the filesystem before attempting to
load it.
Also fix two related issues found during review
- Add missing TEST_ASSERT for mempool creation in test_bpf_elf_tx_load
- Initialize port variable in test_bpf_elf_rx_load to avoid undefined
behavior in cleanup path if null_vdev_setup fails early
Fixes: cf1e03f881af ("test/bpf: add ELF loading")
