selftests/bpf: Fix flaky cgroup_iter_sleepable subtest
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Occasionally, with './test_progs -j' on my vm, I will hit the
following failure:

  test_cgrp_local_storage:PASS:join_cgroup /cgrp_local_storage 0 nsec
  test_cgroup_iter_sleepable:PASS:skel_open 0 nsec
  test_cgroup_iter_sleepable:PASS:skel_load 0 nsec
  test_cgroup_iter_sleepable:PASS:attach_iter 0 nsec
  test_cgroup_iter_sleepable:PASS:iter_create 0 nsec
  test_cgroup_iter_sleepable:FAIL:cgroup_id unexpected cgroup_id: actual 1 != expected 2812
  #48/5    cgrp_local_storage/cgroup_iter_sleepable:FAIL
  #48      cgrp_local_storage:FAIL

Finally, I decided to do some investigation since the test is introduced
by myself. It turns out the reason is due to cgroup_fd with value 0.
In cgroup_iter, a cgroup_fd of value 0 means the root cgroup.

	/* from cgroup_iter.c */
        if (fd)
                cgrp = cgroup_v1v2_get_from_fd(fd);
        else if (id)
                cgrp = cgroup_get_from_id(id);
        else /* walk the entire hierarchy by default. */
                cgrp = cgroup_get_from_path("/");

That is why we got cgroup_id 1 instead of expected 2812.

Why we got a cgroup_fd 0? Nobody should really touch 'stdin' (fd 0) in
test_progs. I traced 'close' syscall with stack trace and found the root
cause, which is a bug in bpf_obj_pinning.c. Basically, the code closed
fd 0 although it should not. Fixing the bug in bpf_obj_pinning.c also
resolved the above cgroup_iter_sleepable subtest failure.
