[PATCH bpf-next v2 1/1] selftests: bpf: size the map in test_lru_sanity3 to whole refills

From: Eva Kurchatova

Date: Fri Sep 25 2026 - 11:42:49 EST


test_lru_sanity3 fills a map of tgt_free * 2 elements, and then reads
back all but the last few. Whether that passes depends on the cpu
count alone; on a machine with six it does not:

test_lru_sanity3 (map_type:9 map_flags:0x0): test_lru_map.c:463:
test_lru_sanity3: Assertion `!bpf_map_lookup_elem_with_ref_bit(
lru_map_fd, key, value)' failed.

The kernel hands elements out in refills of lru->target_free, which is
clamp((size / nr_cpus) / 2, 1, LOCAL_FREE_TARGET), that is 128 / nr_cpus
rounded down. A refill the global free list cannot satisfy in full
calls __bpf_lru_list_shrink() for the remainder, and that evicts live
elements. Filling the map therefore evicts nothing only when computed
128 / nr_cpus is a power of two. Any other nr_cpus variation fails.

batch_size is already __tgt_size(tgt_free), the refill size of a map
is __map_size(batch_size) elements, so size the map that way and the
fill consumes whole refills. Start the keys of the last insert at
map_size + 1, just past the new size.

Above 128 cpus __tgt_size(tgt_free) is 0 and there is no size to build
on. Skip the test there.
