Subject: [LTP] [PATCH v3 3/4] tst_kconfig: add module mappings for vsock/vsock_loopback
Date: Sat, 10 Oct 2026 11:36:21 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261010033622.68927-4-li.wang@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261010033622.68927-1-li.wang@linux.dev>
Map CONFIG_VSOCKETS to "vsock" and CONFIG_VSOCKETS_LOOPBACK to
"vsock_loopback" so tst_kconfig can load them on demand.
cve-2025-21756 binds to VMADDR_CID_LOCAL and therefore needs
vsock_loopback. Without the module loaded, bind() fails with
EADDRNOTAVAIL and the test aborts with TBROK. Declare both configs in
needs_kconfigs so the modules are loaded first.
The test needs root only to load the modules; the reproducer runs as
an ordinary nonroot process in the initial namespace, which can use
loopback VSOCK on nonprivileged ports. Drop privileges to nobody after
module loading and regain root in cleanup() so the modules can be
unloaded.
