Subject: [PATCH net v3 2/2] selftests: tc-testing: add a lateral-drift hfsc classify-walk test
Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2026 06:57:33 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <QDISC-CTUU.v3.20260916184908@mojatatu.com.2> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <QDISC-CTUU.v3.20260916184908@mojatatu.com>
The classify-loop fix bounds a walk's non-descending hops, so the guard
must not misfire on a legal walk that reaches its leaf through a
level-drift lateral chain. Add a case that builds exactly that chain and
asserts traffic still reaches the chain's own leaf.
A lateral hop can only exist because a bind was legal when it was made
and a later class add raised the target's level, so the setup binds each
hop while the target is still a leaf and only then deepens it: bind
1:1 -> 1:2 while 1:2 is a leaf, add 1:20 under 1:2, add 1:3 and bind
1:2 -> 1:3 while 1:3 is a leaf, then add 1:30 and 1:31 under 1:3 and
bind 1:3 -> 1:31. The walk root -> 1:1 -> 1:2 -> 1:3 -> 1:31 then takes
two lateral hops and must reach leaf 1:31.
The default class is 1:30, distinct from the asserted leaf, and the
verify pattern is anchored to the 1:31 stats line, so neither a
fall-through to the default nor a nonzero count on another class can
satisfy the check. On the patched kernel the test passes; with the bound
forced to zero the walk falls to the default and 1:31 stays idle, so the
test fails.

v3:
- Build the lateral chain by binding each hop while its target is
still a leaf and deepening afterwards, instead of deepening first
(Sashiko: nipa, gemini)
- Make the default class 1:30 distinct from the asserted leaf 1:31
and anchor the verify pattern to the 1:31 stats line. (Sashiko:
nipa)
- Drop the trailing "sleep 1" so ping's exit status is the one
checked and no command escapes the test netns. (Sashiko: nipa)
v2:
- First version of the lateral-drift regression test.
