[PATCH bpf v3 2/2] selftests/bpf: Add test to ensure kprobe_multi is not sleepable

From: Varun R Mallya

Date: Wed Apr 01 2026 - 15:17:02 EST


Add a selftest to ensure that kprobe_multi programs cannot be attached
using the BPF_F_SLEEPABLE flag. This test succeeds when the kernel
rejects attachment of kprobe_multi when the BPF_F_SLEEPABLE flag is set.
