[PATCH bpf v4 0/2] bpf: fix short IPv4/IPv6 handling in test_run_skb

From: Sun Jian

Date: Tue Apr 07 2026 - 23:46:59 EST


bpf_prog_test_run_skb() may access IPv4/IPv6 network headers based on
skb->protocol even when the provided test input only contains an
Ethernet header.

Fix it by rejecting such short IPv4/IPv6 inputs before accessing the
L3 headers, and add a selftest that exercises the reported
bpf_skb_adjust_room() path on ETH_HLEN-sized IPv4/IPv6 EtherType
inputs.

Changes in v4:
- Split the selftests into a separate patch.
- Rework the selftest to actually execute a BPF program calling
bpf_skb_adjust_room().
- Reuse a single struct ethhdr eth_hlen and initialize h_proto from
the test case table.
- Add the Fixes tag to the test_run.c patch.
