Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 1/3] selftests/bpf: Check bpf_mem_cgroup_page_state return value
Date: Thu, 12 Feb 2026 16:23:14 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <042df9438d9e78bcd66f1fa0e7043b9ea8cda96c.1770883926.git.zhuhui@kylinos.cn> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1770883926.git.zhuhui@kylinos.cn>

From: Hui Zhu <zhuhui@kylinos.cn>

When back-porting test_progs to different kernel versions, I encountered
an issue where the test_cgroup_iter_memcg test would falsely pass even
when bpf_mem_cgroup_page_state() failed.

The problem occurs when test_progs compiled on one kernel version is
executed on another kernel with different enum values for memory
statistics (e.g., NR_ANON_MAPPED, NR_FILE_PAGES). In such cases,
bpf_mem_cgroup_page_state() returns -1 to indicate failure, but the test
didn't check for this error condition and incorrectly reported success.

This patch adds explicit checks to ensure bpf_mem_cgroup_page_state()
doesn't return -1 before validating the actual statistics values. This
prevents false positives when running test_progs in cross-kernel
environments.
